Use long division to convert 1320

Question

to a decimal.

Answer 1

To convert the whole number 1320 into a decimal using long division, we can divide it by 1, which will simply retain the value of 1320 but place a decimal point.

However, if you want to see how to represent 1320 as a decimal number with a specific denominator, let's say we divide by 10 to convert it to its decimal representation.

Here’s how we can divide 1320 by 10 using long division:

1. Set up the long division:

     ____132.0
   10 | 1320.0
   

2. Determine how many times 10 goes into 13. It fits once:

      1
     ----
   10 | 1320.0
       -10
       ----
        32
   

3. Bring down the next digit, which is 2, making it 32.

4. Now, determine how many times 10 fits into 32. It fits 3 times:

      1 3
     ----
   10 | 1320.0
       -10
       ----
        32
       -30
       ----
         2
   

5. Bring down the next digit (0), making it 20.

6. Determine how many times 10 fits into 20. It fits 2 times:

      1 3 2
     ----
   10 | 1320.0
       -10
       ----
        32
       -30
       ----
         20
        -20
        ----
          0
   

After performing the long division, we find that:

\[ 1320 \div 10 = 132.0 \]

Thus, 1320 as a decimal when divided by 10 is 132.0. If your goal was simply to express 1320 as a decimal, it is already a decimal number: 1320.0.
