Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate 1.4 times 2.0, we multiply the two numbers together:

1.4 * 2.0 = 2.8.

Answer 2

how do we multiply them tho

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To multiply 1.4 and 2.0, you multiply the two numbers together following these steps:

1. Write down the first number, 1.4.
2. Write down the second number, 2.0.
3. Multiply the rightmost digits: 4 * 0 = 0.
4. Multiply the next digits: 1 * 0 = 0.
5. Multiply the leftmost digits: 1 * 2 = 2.
6. Add up the results from steps 3, 4, and 5: 0 + 0 + 2 = 2.

Therefore, 1.4 times 2.0 equals 2.8.

Answer 4

but where does the 8 in 2.8 come from

Apologies for the confusion. It seems there was an error in my previous response.

When multiplying 1.4 and 2.0, you multiply the decimal parts as follows:

0.4 * 0 = 0
0.4 * 2 = 0.8

Next, multiply the whole numbers:

1 * 2 = 2

Finally, add the results from the decimal part and whole number part:

0.8 + 2 = 2.8

Therefore, the correct result is 2.8.

Answer 6

how does 3.6 divided by 1.8 =2

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To divide 3.6 by 1.8, you perform the division operation as follows:

1. Write down the dividend (divided number), which is 3.6.
2. Write down the divisor (dividing number), which is 1.8.
3. Begin the division process starting from the leftmost digit of the dividend.
4. Divide 3 by 1, which equals 3.
5. Write down the quotient (result of division), which is 3.
6. Multiply the quotient (3) by the divisor (1.8), which equals 5.4.
7. Subtract 5.4 from 3.6, which yields 0.2.
8. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (6).
9. Divide 2 by 1, which equals 2.
10. Write down this quotient (2) next to the previous quotient (3), creating 32.
11. Multiply the new quotient (2) by the divisor (1.8), which equals 3.6.
12. Subtract 3.6 from 3.6, resulting in 0.
13. There are no more digits to bring down from the dividend.
14. The final quotient is 32, and there is no remainder.

Therefore, 3.6 divided by 1.8 equals 2.

Answer 8

that doesn't make any sense

Answer 9

Apologies for the incorrect explanation in my previous response. Let's calculate 3.6 divided by 1.8 correctly:

To divide 3.6 by 1.8, you perform the division operation as follows:

1. Write down the dividend (divided number), which is 3.6.
2. Write down the divisor (dividing number), which is 1.8.
3. Perform the division by dividing 3.6 by 1.8:

3.6 ÷ 1.8 = 2

Therefore, the correct result is 2.

Answer 10

how does one divide

Answer 11

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To divide two numbers, you follow these steps:

1. Write down the dividend (the number being divided) and the divisor (the number dividing the dividend).
2. Begin the division process by dividing the leftmost digit of the dividend by the divisor.
3. Write down the quotient (the result of the division) above the line.
4. Multiply the divisor by the quotient and write the result below the dividend.
5. Subtract this result from the dividend.
6. Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 until you have brought down all the digits of the dividend.
8. Once all the digits have been brought down, the number remaining is the remainder, if any.

Let's take an example: dividing 24 by 3.

```
8
--------
3 | 24
21
---
3
```

In this example, 24 is the dividend and 3 is the divisor. When we divide 24 by 3, the quotient is 8, and the remainder is 0.
