Answer:

2.25 divided by 0.6 : Yes and 5.2 divided by 8, 3.63 divided by 3, 71.1 divided by 9 : No

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that when two numbers are divided, they can be written in the form [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex], where p is the dividend and q is the divisor.

Now, when we divide 5.2 by 8, we can write [tex]\frac{5.2}{8}[/tex]

Also, the division 3.63 by 3, can be written as [tex]\frac{3.63}{3}[/tex] = 1.21

Further, when we divide 71.1 by 3, we can write [tex]\frac{71.1}{3}[/tex] = 23.7

We can see that above divisions are easy divisions and do not require to write any type of 0 in the numerator.

Moreover, when we divide 2.25 by 0.6, we can write [tex]\frac{2.25}{0.6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2.25\times 10}{6}[/tex].

So, we get that in the last division, we need to write a zero in order to multiply the numerator with 10 for easy division.

Hence, 2.25 divided by 0.6 : Yes and 5.2 divided by 8, 3.63 divided by 3, 71.1 divided by 9 : No
