\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

say you divide 75.92 by 1.3

\n" ); document.write( "I also multiplied 1.3 by 10 to get a whole number , 13

You did it WRONG. He also did it WRONG, although his answer is correct!\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "STEP 1: Turn the DIVISOR, 1.3 into a WHOLE NUMBER. This is done by MOVING the decimal point ONE (1) place to the right.\r\n" );
document.write( "          In this case the DIVISOR, 1.3 becomes 13.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "STEP 2: The SAME number of places you move the decimal point in the DIVISOR, the same number of places you move the \r\n" );
document.write( "          decimal point in the DIVIDEND. As such, the DIVIDEND, 75.92 becomes 759.2\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "STEP 3: You now DIVIDE 759.2 by 13. You should get: 58.4.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That's IT!!! Nothing MORE, Nothing LESS!!
