To divide \(4\) by \(2.4\), you can perform the calculation as follows:
\[ 4 \div 2.4 = \frac{4}{2.4} \]
To simplify this, you can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by \(10\) to eliminate the decimal:
\[ \frac{4 \times 10}{2.4 \times 10} = \frac{40}{24} \]
Now, simplify \( \frac{40}{24} \):
\[ \frac{40 \div 8}{24 \div 8} = \frac{5}{3} \]
Now you can convert \(\frac{5}{3}\) to a decimal:
\[ \frac{5}{3} \approx 1.6667 \]
So,
\[ 4 \div 2.4 \approx 1.6667 \]
Alternatively, you can also express this as:
\[ 4 \div 2.4 = 1.6667 \text{ (or } 1 \frac{2}{3} \text{ as a fraction).} \]
