Problem 2

  1. Write a division expression that has the same value as 1.2÷0.751.2 \div 0.75 and can be used to find the quotient.

  2. Find the value of 1.2÷0.751.2 \div 0.75. Show your reasoning.
Show Solution
Solution
  1. Sample responses: 120÷75120 \div 75 or 1,200÷7501,200 \div 750
  2. 1.6 (or equivalent). Sample reasoning:
    • 120÷75=12075=14575120 \div 75 = \frac{120}{75} = 1\frac{45}{75}, which is equal to 19151\frac {9}{15} or 1351\frac{3}{5}.
