(vi) 14.49 ÷ 7
Since 1449 ÷ 7 = 207 and there are two digits in the decimal part of the given decimal number.
∴ Place the decimal point in the quotient such that there are two digits to its right.
∴ 14.49 ÷ 7 = 2.07

(vii) 3.96 ÷ 4
Since 396 ÷ 4 = 99 and there are two digits in the decimal part of the given decimal number.
∴ Place the decimal point in the quotient such that there are two digits to its right.
∴ 3.96 ÷ 4 = 0.99

(viii) 0.80 ÷ 5
Since 80 ÷ 5 = 16 and there are two digits in the decimal part of the given decimal number.
∴ Place the decimal point in the quotient such that there are two digits to its right.
∴ 0.80 ÷ 5 = 0.16

(iii) 0.7 ÷ 10
As there is one zero in 10, the decimal point in the quotient is shifted to the left by one place.
∴ 0.7 + 10 = 0.07

(iv) 33.1 ÷ 10
As there is one zero in 10, the decimal point in the quotient is shifted to the left by one place.
∴ 33.1 ÷ 10 = 3.31

(v) 272.23 ÷ 10
As there is one zero in 10, the decimal point in the quotient is shifted to the left by one place.
∴ 272.23 ÷ 10 = 27.223

(vi) 0.56 ÷ 10
As there is one zero in 10, the decimal point in the quotient is shifted to the left by one place.
∴ 0.56 + 10 = 0.056

(vii) 3.97 ÷ 10
As there is one zero in 10, the decimal point in the quotient is shifted to the left by one place.
∴ 3.97 + 10 = 0.397

Question 6.
A vehicle covers a distance of 43.2 km in 2.4 litres of petrol. How much distance will it cover in one litre of petrol?
Solution:
Total distance covered = 43.2 km
Quantity of petrol used = 2.4 litres
∴ Distance covered in one litre petrol

= $$\frac { 43.2 }{ 2.4 }$$km
= [ $$\frac { 43.2 }{ 2.4 }$$ ÷ $$\frac { 24 }{ 10 }$$ ]km
= $$\frac { 432 }{ 10 }$$ x $$\frac { 10 }{ 24 }$$
= $$\frac { 18×1 }{ 1×1 }$$
= 18 km
