Natasha and Jorge were asked to find the quotient to the decimal division problem 18.8 ÷ 1.6. Natasha

Question

says her answer is 11.75. Jorge says his answer is 1.175.
a. Who is correct? Natasha or Jorge?
b. Explain how you know who is correct. Include in your explanation at least one possible error the
student who was incorrect made. (2 points)

Answer 1

To determine who is correct, we can divide 18.8 by 1.6 using long division:

11
__________
1.6 | 18.8
-16
____
28
- 16
_____
12

The quotient of 18.8 ÷ 1.6 is 11.75, so Natasha is correct.

One possible error is that Jorge mistakenly moved the decimal place one place to the left in the quotient. Instead of writing 11.75, they wrote 1.175.
