Full solution

Q. Divide.

\newline

1.395\div0.31=

Eliminate decimal from divisor: Eliminate the decimal from the divisor. $\newline$ To make the division simpler, we can multiply both the divisor ( $0.31$ ) and the dividend ( $1.395$ ) by the same power of $10$ to eliminate the decimals. In this case, we can multiply both by $100$ to move the decimal two places to the right. $\newline$ $1.395$ becomes $139.5$ and $0.31$ becomes $31$ .
Perform division with whole numbers: Perform the division with whole numbers. $\newline$ Now we divide $139.5$ by $31$ . $\newline$ $139.5 \div 31 = 4.5$
Verify the result: Verify the result. $\newline$ To check the division, we can multiply the quotient by the divisor to see if we get the original dividend. $\newline$ $4.5 \times 31 = 139.5$ $\newline$ Since $139.5$ is the original dividend, our division is correct.
