Honey, let's think about this. How can 8 divided by 4 equal .4? .4 times 4 equals 1.6 ok? What times 4 equals 8? Try 2. Therefore 8 divided by 4 equals 2.

Ok, to work this out just do 8/4=2. We know that much right?
8/0.4 you must first convert your decimal to a fraction (2/5).
Now you have 8 divided by 2/5 which becomes 8/1 multiplied by 5/2. Because to divide a fraction you just multiply by the recipricol. (2/5 becomes 5/2). You multiply straight across 8x5=40 over 2x1=2.
40 divided by 2 = 20.

8 divided by 4 is 2.
Let's say you have eight stones. Start dividing them by taking four pieces at a time. How many times can you take four? TWICE, then you have nothing left.
Hense, the answer is TWO.
