89.5 ÷ 101 = 8.95
Each cloth strip will be 8.95 cm long.
Convince Me! Use Structure Celinda thought of 89.5 in parts, 80 + 9 + 0.5, and divided each part: 80 ÷ 10 = 8; 9 ÷ 10 = \(\frac{9}{10}\) or 0.9; 0.5 ÷ 10 = 0.05. Then she added the parts to get 8.95. What do you notice?
Answer:
Celinda divided 89.5 into parts as 80 + 9 + 0.5, and divided each part 80 ÷ 10 = 8; 9 ÷ 10 = 0.9; 0.5 ÷ 10 = 0.05. Then she added the parts to get 8.95. I notice when we divide the number 89.5 with 10 then the result is 8.95 and dividing 89.5 into parts also we get same result as 8.95.

Subtract 200 from 247.5 so as to get the remainder 47.5. 50 cannot be a multiple of 47.5 and so we have kept a decimal in the quotient and now 50 has the least possible multiple value of 45.0(50 x 0.9) near to 47.5. After subtracting 45.0 from 47.5, we are now having 4.9 as quotient and 2.5 as remainder. Now the possible multiple value of 50 near to 2.5 is 2.5 itself(50 x 0.05 = 2.5). Now the remainder is zero and the final quotient is 4.95.

Question 1.
91.2 ÷ 16
Answer:
91.2 ÷ 16 = 5.7
Explanation:
In the above image we can observe the division operation 91.2 ÷ 16 = 5.7. The nearest possible multiple value of 16 is 80(16 x 5). Subtract 80 from 91.2 so as to get the remainder 11.2. 16 cannot be a multiple of 11.2 and so we have kept a decimal in the quotient and now the possible multiple value of 16 near to 11.2 is 11.2 itself(16 x 0.7 = 11.2). Now the remainder is zero and the final quotient is 5.7.
Question 2.
361.5 ÷ 15
Answer:
361.5 ÷ 15 = 24.1
Explanation:
In the above image we can observe the division operation 361.5 ÷ 15 = 24.1. The nearest possible multiple value of 15 is 360(15 x 24). Subtract 360 from 361.5 so as to get the remainder 1.5. 15 cannot be a multiple of 1.5 and so we have kept a decimal in the quotient and now the possible multiple value of 15 near to 1.5 is 1.5 itself(15 x 0.1 = 1.5). Now the remainder is zero and the final quotient is 24.1.
Question 3.
29.04 ÷ 22
Answer:
29.04 ÷ 22 = 1.32
Explanation:
In the above image we can observe the division operation 29.04 ÷ 22 = 1.32. The nearest possible multiple value of 22 is 22(22 x 1). Subtract 22 from 29.04 so as to get the remainder 7.04. 22 cannot be a multiple of 7.04 and so we have kept a decimal in the quotient and now 22 has the least possible multiple value of 6.60(22 x 0.3) near to 7.04. After subtracting 6.6 from 7.04, we are now having 1.3 as quotient and 0.44as remainder. Now the possible multiple value of 22 near to 0.44 is 0.44 itself(22 x 0.02 = 0.44). Now the remainder is zero and the final quotient is 1.32.
Question 4.
144 ÷ 45
Answer:
144 ÷ 45 = 3.2
Explanation:
In the above image we can observe the division operation 144 ÷ 45= 3.2. The nearest possible multiple value of 45 is 135(45 x 3). Subtract 135 from 144 so as to get the remainder 9. 45 cannot be a multiple of 9 and so we have kept a decimal in the quotient and now the possible multiple value of 45 near to 9.0 is 9.0 itself(45 x 0.2 = 9.0). Now the remainder is zero and the final quotient is 3.2.
Question 5.
