Question
Use long division to convert 345
to a decimal.(1 point)
$$

Answer 1

To convert the whole number 345 into a decimal using long division, we can divide it by 1, which will just yield 345. However, if you're looking to express it as a decimal with specific places, we can convert it to something like 345.0.

Here's how you can perform long division to express it as a decimal:

1. Write 345.0 (we're adding a decimal point and zero to show we want to express it in decimal form).
2. Think of this as dividing 345 by 1:

- 1 goes into 3 (0 times, so we look at the next digit).
- 1 goes into 34 (34 divided by 1 is 34, subtract 34 from 34, leaving 0).
- Bring down the next digit (5).
- Now we have 05.

5 divided by 1 is 5, leaving us with 0.

Thus, the long division confirms:

\[
345.0 \div 1 = 345.0
\]

So the result of converting 345 into decimal form is **345.0**.
