Question

When 0.02964 is divided by 0.004. What will be the quotient.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

0.02964/0.004

In order to convert the given fraction into whole no.s,

=(0.02964/0.004)*(100000/100000)

=2964/400

=7.41 => Quotient.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{0.02964}{0.004} =7.41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the numbers 0.02964 and 0.004.

First convert the decimals into fractions.

In the first number, 0.02964 there are 5 digits after the decimal.

Therefore multiplying and dividing the number, 5zeros after 1 i.e., 100000

$\implies \frac{0.02964\times100000}{100000} =\frac{2964}{100000}$

Similarly, in the second number 0.004, there are 3 digits after the decimal.

Therefore multiplying and dividing the number, 3zeros after 1 i.e., 1000

 $\implies \frac{0.004\times1000}{1000} =\frac{4}{1000}$  

Now diving $\frac{0.02964}{0.004} =\frac{\frac{2964}{100000}}{\frac{4}{1000}}$

$={\frac{2964}{100000}}\times {\frac{1000}{4}}$

$={\frac{2964}{100}}\times {\frac{1}{4}}$

$={\frac{741}{100}}$

As there are two zeroes after 1 in the denominator, so taking the decimal point after two digits counting from the right, we get

${\frac{741}{100}}=7.41$

Therefore, $\frac{0.02964}{0.004} =7.41$
