Question

hey I need help with the question what is 88,000÷66,000

Answer 1

Since 88,000 and 66,000 are both divisible by 1000 and:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{88,000}{1,000}=88 \\ \frac{66,000}{1,000}=66 \end{gathered}$

We can just divide 88 by 66 and get the same quotient. Therefore:

$\frac{88,000}{66,000}=\frac{88}{66}=\frac{4}{3}=1.3333$

So, the answer is 4/3 or 1.3333
