Chapter 2.7, Problem 34S

To determine

To find: the divide of $4\overline{)2.0}$ .

Answer to Problem 34S

The divide of $4\overline{)2.0}$ is $0.5\text{or}\frac{1}{2}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The divisor is 4.

The dividend is 2.0.

Calculation:

Divide 2 by 4 as follows:

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 4\overline{)2.0}\text{}\text{or}\frac{2}{4}\\ \Rightarrow 4\begin{array}{c}\hfill 0.5\\ \hfill \overline{)\begin{array}{l}\underset{\_}{\begin{array}{l}20\\ 20\end{array}}\\ 00\end{array}}\end{array}\text{or}\frac{\cancel{2}}{\cancel{2}\times 2}\\ \Rightarrow 0.5\text{or}\frac{1}{2}\end{array}$

Thus, the divide of $4\overline{)2.0}$ is $0.5\text{or}\frac{1}{2}$ .
