Answer:
a) [tex]\frac{16.5}{10}=1.65[/tex]
b) [tex]\frac{16.5}{100}=0.165[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : a) 16.5 divided by 10
b) 16.5 divided by 100
To find : Explain how you decide where to place the decimal in the quotients for a and b ?
Solution :
Placing the decimal in the quotients,
If the value is multiple of 10 then the decimal is placed to the right according to number of zeros.
For example - [tex]\frac{3}{10}=0.3[/tex] it place one value to the right.
Now, We solve the expressions
a) 16.5 divided by 10
i.e. [tex]\frac{16.5}{10}=\frac{165}{100}=1.65[/tex]
b) 16.5 divided by 100
i.e. [tex]\frac{16.5}{100}=\frac{165}{1000}=0.165[/tex]
