8 divided by 0.64 = 1.25? Is that correct?

Answer 1

No. The way to do this (by hand) is to move the decimal on the 0.64 to 64. So add two zeros to the 8 to make 800 so that's the same as 800/64 = ?
If you're using a calculator just punch in the numbers. But if you're using a calculator how could you come up with the wrong answer? Read the answer wrong?

Answer 2

No.

The way I was taught to divide decimals was to move the decimal point in the divisor over so that it becomes a whole number. Then, move the decimal point over the same number of places in the dividend.

8 / 0.64 = 800 / 64 = 12.5
