Division inquiry

by alali.maria Sun Sep 23, 2012 10:19 am

what is 4010 divided by 25? I get 16.4 but the correct answer is 160.4. Can anyone explain this for me!

4010/25 = (4010x4)/(25x4) = 16040/100 = 160.04

16040/100 is 160.40 = 160.4, not 160.04.

to the original poster -- without something about the process you followed, it's not clear what you are asking us to explain.
