Write a word problem that involves dividing by a decimal.

A 16-piece package of gum costs $0.96. How much does each piece of gum cost?

To find out how much each piece of gum costs, we need to divide the cost of the package of gum which is $0.96 by the number of pieces of gum in the package which is 16.

So we have 16 divided into 0.96.

Steps for division

16 divides into 96 6 times so we write the 6 above the 6. 6 × 16 is 96 and 96 - 96 is 0. Finally, we bring the decimal point up to the same position in our answer and use zeroes to fill the missing positions. So we have 0.06 which means that each piece of gum costs $0.06.

I also attached an image with my work.

step-by-step explanation:

1. the cylinder is a. 54

2.   a.108 /

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
