Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Divide
3
by
4
to get
0.75
The division in this case is a bit tricky due to the fact that you have to divide something small
3
into something bigger
4
.

as you can see at the start we borrow a zero to make our
3
into a
30
but we have to "signal" this loan by adding a
0
,
into the result; then we take another zero (in red) to form a
20
and finish our division.

Here is another method.
Explanation:
3
4
can be converted to a fraction
x
100
.
How? In the denominator,
4
×
25
=
100
. So we do the same for the numerator:
3
4
×
25
×
25
=
3
×
25
100
=
75
100
Dividing by 100 means you move the decimal point backwards two digit spaces. So from the numerator value
75.00
you move two back, and you have
0.7500
or
0.75
.
(the 0's are there so you can see the decimal point. They actually don't count)
