Shelly was given this number sentence and was asked to place the decimal point correctly in the quotient.
55.6875 ÷ 6.75 = 0.825
do you agree with shelly?
divide to prove your answer is correct.

The quotient is 8.25 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we approximate the 2 numbers

55.6875 =  approximately 60 and 6.75 = approximately 7.

The division becomes 60 /  7 =  approximately 9.  

So 0.825 is not correct. The Decimal point must be after the first number.

If we divide the original numbers the quotient is 8.2496 or 8.25 to the nearest hundredth.

step-by-step explanation:

this is not possible to solve with the info given.   you need at least an one angle somewhere.

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
