Divide decimals by whole numbers 1
In the written division, the tenths quotient digit and final subtraction row are hidden. Find both.
Hints
- Interpret the final partial dividend as tenths.
- Use the divisor to find how many equal groups fit into those tenths.
Solution
1. The displayed problem is \(4.2\div2\).
2. The final partial dividend is \(2\) tenths.
3. \(2\) tenths divided by \(2\) is \(1\) tenth, so the missing quotient digit is \(1\), and the subtraction row is \(2\).
Answer
Missing quotient digit: \(1\); subtraction row: \(2\).
