Answer 1

To convert 6715 to a decimal using long division, we need to determine what 6715 divided by 1000 is (since moving the decimal point two places to the left converts it to a decimal).

Here's how you can divide 6715 by 1000:

1. Set up the division: We want to divide 6715 by 1000.
2. Perform the division:
   • 1000 goes into 6715 six times (since 1000 * 6 = 6000).
   • After subtracting 6000 from 6715, we're left with 715.
   • Bring down the next two zeros from 1000 becoming 71500.
   • 1000 goes into 71500 seventy-one times (since 1000 * 71 = 71000).
   • After subtracting 71000 from 71500, we're left with 500.
   • Bring down another zero making it 5000.
   • 1000 goes into 5000 five times (since 1000 * 5 = 5000).

So when we complete the long division, we find:

\[ 6715 ÷ 1000 = 6.715 \]

Thus, the response is:

6.715
