Question

$$\frac{ 3.0 }{ 31.25 }$$

Answer

0.096

Solution

Shift the decimals of both 3. and 31.25 to the right by 2 decimal places. (This is needed to convert 31.25 to 3125, since long division must divide by a whole number.)

\[300\div 3125\]

Use the algorithm method.

								.		9	6
3	1	2	5	\|	3	0	0	.
					2	8	1	.	2	5

						1	8	.	7	5	0
						1	8	.	7	5	0

Therefore, $3\div 31.25=0.096$.

\[0.096\]
