STEP 1
What is this asking? We need to divide 990 by 75 and write the result as a decimal. Watch out! Don't forget to keep dividing until you get a remainder of zero or a repeating pattern to get that *exact* decimal!
STEP 2
1. Set up the long division.
2. Perform the division.
STEP 3
Alright, let's **set up our long division** problem!
We're dividing 990 by 75, so we put 990 inside the division house and 75 outside.
It looks like this:
STEP 4
How many times does 75 go into 99?
Well, and , so it goes in **one** time.
We write the **1** above the **9** in 990.
STEP 5
Now, we multiply our **1** by 75 to get 75, and we write that below the 99.
STEP 6
Time to subtract! .
STEP 7
Bring down the next digit, which is **0**, to make 240.
STEP 8
How many times does 75 go into 240?
Let's see, , and , so it goes in **3** times.
Write the **3** above the **0** in 990.
STEP 9
Multiply and write it below the 240.
STEP 10
Subtract .
STEP 11
Since we have a remainder, we add a decimal point and a zero to 990, making it 990.0, and bring down the zero.
STEP 12
goes into exactly **2** times ().
We write the **2** above the **0** after the decimal point.
STEP 13
Our final answer is **13.2**.
