Verified answer

26 goes into 47.18 ----- 1 time

47.18 - 26 =21.18

26 goes into 211 ----- 8 times

211-208=3 (forget the decimal for now, but put it back for your final answer)

26 goes into 38----- 1 time

so you should get 181

add the decimal back in 2 PLACES FROM THE RIGHT to get your final answer 1.81

Since nobody else feels like being helpful. You can perform long division with decimals by simply moving the decimal to the answer at the same point where it occurs in the dividend. So you would set it up like

26|47.18. Now 26 goes once into 47, so you get

-----1.

26|47.18

----26

----211

We multiply back and subtract. Now we put a decimal behind the answer because that is where it occurs in the dividend. Proceed with long division as normal. 26 goes into 211 8 times

-----1.8

26|47.18

----26

----211

----208

-------38

26 goes into 38 once giving you an answer of 1.81 remainder 12/26 or 6/13

The point is that the decimal continues.

47.18 /26

= 23.59/13

13 * 1 = 13

13 * 2 = 26 answer >1 and <2

13 * 1.5 = 19.5 answer >1.5 and <2

13 * 1.7 = 19.5 + 2.6 = 22.1 answer > 1.7 and <2

13 * 1.8 = 22.1 + 1.3 = 23.4 answer >1.8 and < 2

13 * 1.9 = 23.4 + 1.3 = 24.7 answer >1.8 and< 1.9

13 * 1.82 = 13*(1.8+0.02) = 23.4 + 0.26 = 23.66 answer >1.8 and <1.82
