...(40.) Division in decimals is performed as in whole numbers, observing to point off' as many decimals in the quotient as the number of decimal places in the dividend exceeds the number in the divisor. Ex. Divide 77.922 by 3.7. 7*7 Q22 -±-¥- — = 21.06: here there are three decimals in the dividend,... | |
