Problem

Find the quotient \$(116) \div (1.2)\$.

Step

Given the problem.

\$(116) \div (1.2)\$

Step

Firstly, multiply the divisor by as many tens as necessary until we get a whole number. Then, multiply the dividend by the same number of tens.

\$(116) \times (10) = 1160\$ \$(1.2) \times (10) = 12\$

Step

When dividing numbers, place the decimal point in the quotient above the dividend’s decimal point.

\$(116) \div (12)\$ = \$96.666\$

Step

Therefore, the quotient is.

\$ 96.666\$
