Math Problem Statement

0.72 ÷ 0.03

Solution

The image shows a division problem: 0.72÷0.030.72 \div 0.03.

Let's solve it step-by-step:

Step 1: Eliminate the decimal places

To simplify, we can multiply both numbers by 100 to eliminate the decimals: 0.72÷0.03=0.72×1000.03×100=7230.72 \div 0.03 = \frac{0.72 \times 100}{0.03 \times 100} = \frac{72}{3}

Step 2: Perform the division

Now, divide: 72÷3=2472 \div 3 = 24

Final Answer:

0.72÷0.03=240.72 \div 0.03 = 24
