In this case:
47; 4 + 7 = 11 = 1 + 1 = 2
12 = 1 + 2 = 3
3.9 = 3?
Therefore we get; 2 / 3 = 3?
Hi
The DS Method for division with reminder works a little bit differently. You need to convert the decimal to a reminder.
47 / 12
Quotient 3
Reminder 11
This can be written like the following.
Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Reminder
47 = 12 x 3 + 11
DS is the following:
2 = 3 x 3 + 2
2 = 2
There is a method to check answers with the decimals. I will be adding an additional lecture for that in a couple of weeks. Until then please use this method instead.
