Answer 1

To convert 6715 into a decimal using long division, we interpret this as dividing 6715 by 1000.

Let's perform the division of 6715 by 1000.

1. Set up the long division:

   • 6715 is the dividend.
   • 1000 is the divisor.

2. Start dividing:

   • How many times does 1000 go into 6715? It goes 6 times (because $1000\times 6=6000$).
   • Write 6 above the division line.

3. Subtract:

   • $6715-6000=715$.

4. Bring down the next digit:

   • Since we are dividing into 1000, we could imagine bringing down two zeroes, but because we are converting to a decimal, we can actually start placing a decimal after the 6.
   • Thus, we have $6.715$.

This means that $6715=6.715$ when converted to a decimal.

So the answer is:

6.715
