Answer 1

To convert the whole number 711 to a decimal using long division, it's important first to clarify what you are dividing by. Assuming you want to divide 711 by 100 to convert it to a decimal representation, here’s the long division process:

1. Set up the division: 711 divided by 100.
2. Since 100 does not go into 711, we can say that 100 goes into 711 seven times, as 100 x 7 = 700.
3. Subtract 700 from 711, leaving a remainder of 11.
4. To continue the division, we will add a decimal point and a zero (making it 110).
5. Now, determine how many times 100 goes into 110. It goes once (1 x 100 = 100).
6. Subtract 100 from 110 to get a remainder of 10.
7. Again, we add a zero, making it 100.
8. Determine how many times 100 goes into 100. It goes once.
9. Subtract 100 from 100 to get a remainder of 0.

Putting this together, we find:

711 ÷ 100 = 7.11

So the answer is:

7.11
