Question 4 What is the quotient? (a) 126 ÷ 8 = (b) 12.6 ÷ 8 = (c) 1.26 ÷ 8 = (d) 0.126 ÷ 8 = (e) 0.0126 ÷ 8 =Let’s first find 126 ÷ 8 and then we can all the options by moving decimal point Thus, 126 ÷ 8 = 15.75 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 (a) 𝟏𝟐𝟔÷𝟖 Numerator (0) - Denominator (0)=0 Move: 0 steps. Answer: 15.75 (b) 𝟏𝟐.𝟔÷𝟖 Numerator (1) - Denominator (0)=+1 Move: Left 1 step. (15.75→1.575) Answer: 1.575 (c) 𝟏.𝟐𝟔÷𝟖 Numerator ( 2 ) - Denominator ( 0 ) = +2 Move: Left 2 steps. (15.75→.1575) Answer: 0.1575 (d) 𝟎.𝟏𝟐𝟔÷𝟖 Numerator ( 3 ) - Denominator ( 0 ) = +3 Move: Left 3 steps. ( 015.75→.01575 ) Answer: 0.01575 (e) 𝟎.𝟎𝟏𝟐𝟔÷𝟖 Numerator ( 4 ) - Denominator ( 0 ) = +4 Move: Left 4 steps. ( 0015.75→.001575 ) Answer: 0.001575 (e) 𝟎.𝟎𝟏𝟐𝟔÷𝟖 Numerator ( 4 ) - Denominator ( 0 ) = +4 Move: Left 4 steps. ( 0015.75→.001575 ) Answer: 0.001575
