If you have \"20.00\" how many sodas can i buy at \"1.25\" each, just divide \"20.00\" by \"1.25\":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"20.00%2F1.25=2000%2F125=16\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "long division:
\n" ); document.write( "\"20.00%2F1.25\"...first multiply both by \"100\" to get whole numbers\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2820.00%2A100%29%2F%281.25%2A100%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=\"2000%2F125\" When you are dividing, you look to see how many times \"125\" goes into each of the digits of the dividend \"2000\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"125\" goes into \"2\" zero times. Move to the next digit of the dividend, and you have \"20\". \"125\" goes into \"20\" zero times too. Move to the next digit of the dividend, and you have \"200\". \"125\" goes into \"200\" one time. So far you have
\n" ); document.write( "-------(1
\n" ); document.write( "\"125%7C+2000\"....\"1%2A125=125\"; write it under \"200\" and subtract
\n" ); document.write( "--------125
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "---------75................add last zero from \"2000\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------750...........\"125\" goes into \"750\" \"6\" times, so add \"6\" next to \"1\" above \"2000\" and you have\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------(16.............your result
\n" ); document.write( "\"125%7C+2000\"....
\n" ); document.write( "--------125
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------subtract
\n" ); document.write( "---------75............
\n" ); document.write( "---------750..........\"6%2A125=750\"; write it under \"750\" and subtract
\n" ); document.write( "---------750......... subtract
\n" ); document.write( "-----------0.........reminder\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so,\"2000%2F125=16\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
