Question 3 What is the quotient? (a) 132 ÷ 4 = (b) 13.2 ÷ 4 = (c) 1.32 ÷ 4 = (d) 0.132 ÷ 4 = Let’s first find 132 ÷ 4 and then we can all the options by moving decimal point Thus, 132 ÷ 4 = 33 Now, let’s find answer to the options Now, while dividing we follow these rules Calculate the "Gap": (Decimal places in Numerator) – (Decimal places in Denominator). The Move: If the Gap is Positive (+) → Move decimal to the Left. If the Gap is Negative (-) → Move decimal to the Right. Now, let’s do our question First, ignore the decimals. 132÷4=𝟑𝟑 (a) 𝟏𝟑𝟐÷𝟒 Numerator (0 decimals) - Denominator (0 decimals) =0 Move: 0 steps. Answer: 33 (b) 𝟏𝟑.𝟐÷𝟒 Numerator (1 decimal) - Denominator (0 decimals) = +1 Move: Left 1 step. ( 33.0→3.3 ) Answer: 3.3 (c) 𝟏.𝟑𝟐÷𝟒 Numerator (2 decimals) - Denominator (0 decimals) = +2 Move: Left 2 steps. ( 33.0→.33 ) Answer: 0.33 (d) 𝟎.𝟏𝟑𝟐÷𝟒 Numerator (3 decimals) - Denominator (0 decimals) = +3 Move: Left 3 steps. ( 033.0→.033 ) Answer: 0.033
