document.write( "Question 1199403: say you divide 75.92 by 1.3
\n" ); document.write( "I multiplied 75.92 by 100 so it becomes 7592
\n" ); document.write( "I also multiplied 1.3 by 10 to get a whole number , 13
\n" ); document.write( "Then, I divided the whole numbers (7592 division 13 ) and got 584
\n" ); document.write( "Now, I divided 584 by 10 and 100 since I want to reverse the multiplication I did before and so I get : 0.584
\n" ); document.write( "But that is not the correct answer . So , then How do I work such problems please? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Think through this way.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"75.92%2F1.3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You want WHOLE values for divisor and dividend.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2875.92%2A100%29%2F%281.3%2A100%29\"$ ----------This is simply multiplication by 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"7592%2F130\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From here, you can use what you could already know about long-division of whole numbers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I show this without explaining any of it.\r
