Kit got 74/80 on an exam, meaning that she earned
75 points out of 80 possible. Write the decimal 
equivalent of this fraction.

     .9375 
80)75.0000
   72 0
    3 00
    2 40
      600
      560
       400
       400
         0 

I don't know if they still teach long division in
schools anymore.  If they don't, just get a calculator
and press 75÷80= and you'll see .9375
