You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can still do division but you get an answer less than 1.
\n" ); document.write( "Remember you can always do it this way.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287%2F9%29=%287%2F9%29%28100%2F100%29=%28700%2F9%29%281%2F100%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now $\"700%2F9=77.78\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287%2F9%29=%2877.78%29%281%2F100%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "When you divide by $\"100\"$ , it's like moving your decimal point over to the left two places.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287%2F9%29=0.7778\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
