Question 1001386
If you have {{{20.00}}} how many sodas can i buy  at {{{1.25}}} each, just divide {{{20.00}}} by {{{1.25}}}:

{{{20.00/1.25=2000/125=16}}}

long division:
{{{20.00/1.25}}}...first multiply both by {{{100}}} to get whole numbers

{{{(20.00*100)/(1.25*100)}}}


={{{2000/125}}} When you are dividing, you look to see how many times {{{125}}} goes into each of the digits of the dividend {{{2000}}}. 
{{{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
-------(1
{{{125| 2000}}}....{{{1*125=125}}}; write it under {{{200}}} and subtract
--------125
-------------------------
---------75................add last zero from {{{2000}}}
---------750...........{{{125}}} goes into {{{750}}} {{{6}}} times, so add {{{6}}} next to {{{1}}} above {{{2000}}} and you have


------(16.............your result
{{{125| 2000}}}....
--------125
-------------------------subtract
---------75............
---------750..........{{{6*125=750}}}; write it under {{{750}}} and subtract
---------750......... subtract
-----------0.........reminder

so,{{{2000/125=16}}}
