Full solution

Q. Divide. Give the exact answer, written as a decimal.\newline8÷5=8 \div 5=\square
  1. Set up division problem: Set up the division problem.\newlineTo divide 88 by 55, we write it as 8÷58 \div 5 or as a fraction 85\frac{8}{5}.
  2. Perform the division: Perform the division.\newlineSince 88 is not a multiple of 55, we expect a decimal result. We can start by seeing how many times 55 goes into 88, which is 11 time with a remainder of 33. To find the decimal, we can add a decimal point to the 88 (making it 8.08.0) and bring down a 00 to continue the division.
  3. Continue with remainder: Continue the division with the remainder.\newlineNow we divide 3030 (the remainder of 33 with an additional 00 after the decimal point) by 55. 55 goes into 3030 exactly 66 times with no remainder.
  4. Write final answer: Write the final answer.\newlineCombining the whole number and decimal parts, we get 1.61.6 as the exact decimal value of 88 divided by 55.
