Answer:
The answer is 9.341 or 9.35.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is regular division, only it's with decimals.
So once you set up the problem, you need to move the decimal in the number your dividing into the dividend (2.6) to the right so that it is a whole number.
This one you only need to move it once so you should have 26 now.
What you do on the outside you do on the inside.
So move the decimal in the dividend (24.31) once to the right.
Now your number should be 243.1.
Now just divide it like you divide whole numbers.
26 goes into 243 9 times.
9*26=234.
243-234=9
26 can't go into 9, so add a 0 to the 9 to make 90.
Also, add a decimal on the line to your current answer.
26 goes into 90 3 times.
26*3=78.
90-78=12
26 can't go into 12 so add a zero to it to make 120.
26 goes into 120 4 times
26*4=104
120-104=26.
26/26=1.
So the answer is 9.341 or 9.35 rounded.
