Solve Division Problem: +4.8 ÷ +3 with Decimal Numbers

Solve the following expression:

$+\text{4}.8:+3=$

Let's begin by converting 4.8 to a simple fraction:

$4.8=\frac{48}{10}$

Next let's convert 3 to a simple fraction:

$3=\frac{3}{1}$

The resulting exercise is as follows:

$\frac{48}{10}:\frac{3}{1}=$

Let's proceed to convert the division exercise into a multiplication exercise, not forgetting to swap the numerator and denominator in the second fraction:

$\frac{48}{10}\times\frac{1}{3}=$

Let's now combine the above exercise into one multiplication exercise:

$\frac{48\times1}{10\times3}=\frac{48}{10\times3}=$

Next let's break down 48 into a multiplication exercise:

$\frac{16\times3}{10\times3}=$

Let's reduce the 3 in both numerator and denominator obtaining the following:

$\frac{16}{10}$

Finally let's convert the simple fraction into a decimal:

$\frac{16}{10}=1.6$
