Dividing decimals by decimals

Write the decimals as a fraction with the numerator and the denominator as follows:

$\frac{5.550}{0.111}$

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 1,000 to remove the decimal places:

$\frac{5.550 \times 1,000}{0.111 \times 1,000} = \frac{5,550}{111}$

Divide 5,550 by 111 to get 50.

Therefore, $5.550 \div 0.111 = 50$.

$52.32 \div 0.05 =$

$52.32 \div 0.05 = \frac{52.32}{0.05}$

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100 to remove the decimal places:

$\frac{52.32}{0.05} = \frac{52.32 \times 100}{0.05 \times 100} = \frac{5,232}{5}$

Divide 5,232 by 5 to get 1,046.4.

Therefore, $51.32 \div 0.05 = 1,046.4$.
