Question

$$500/.5$$

Answer

1000

Solution


Shift the decimals of both 500 and .5 to the right by 1 decimal place. (This is needed to convert .5 to 5, since long division must divide by a whole number.)
\[5000\div 5\]
Use the algorithm method.
1000
5|5000
5
000
Therefore, \(500\div 0.5=1000\).
\[1000\]
