how do you rewrite the problem so the divisor is a whole number 48.4 (division sign)0.4 8.19 (division sign)0.09 3.7 (division sign) 2.1 2.39 (division sign) 0.05 45.218(division sign)0.23 233.58(division sign)10.2

48.4 (division sign)0.4

48.4/0.4 =
Move the decimal point in the divisor and in the dividend.
484 / 4 = ?

8.19 (division sign)0.09
819/9

THANK YOU

You're welcome.

I need help!!! and my homework question is Box a is 6 times as heavy as box b.The total weight of the two boxes is 840g.How much heavier is box a than box b?

To rewrite the problems so that the divisor is a whole number, we need to multiply both the dividend and the divisor by a common factor that will eliminate the decimal point.

For the problem 48.4 ÷ 0.4, multiply both numbers by 10 to get rid of the decimal point: (48.4 * 10) ÷ (0.4 * 10) = 484 ÷ 4.

For the problem 8.19 ÷ 0.09, multiply both numbers by 100 to eliminate the decimal point: (8.19 * 100) ÷ (0.09 * 100) = 819 ÷ 9.

For the problem 3.7 ÷ 2.1, multiply both numbers by 10 to get rid of the decimal point: (3.7 * 10) ÷ (2.1 * 10) = 37 ÷ 21.

For the problem 2.39 ÷ 0.05, multiply both numbers by 100 to eliminate the decimal point: (2.39 * 100) ÷ (0.05 * 100) = 239 ÷ 5.

For the problem 45.218 ÷ 0.23, multiply both numbers by 100 to get rid of the decimal point: (45.218 * 100) ÷ (0.23 * 100) = 4521.8 ÷ 23.

For the problem 233.58 ÷ 10.2, multiply both numbers by 10 to eliminate the decimal point: (233.58 * 10) ÷ (10.2 * 10) = 2335.8 ÷ 102.

By multiplying both the dividend and the divisor by a common factor, we can rewrite the problems so the divisor is a whole number.
