Dividing a 2-digit number by 1 1/8

STEPS

1. Select a 2-digit number.
2. Multiply by 8.
3. Divide the result by 9.

Example:

1. The 2-digit number chosen to divide by 1 1/8 is 42.
2. Multiply by 8: 8 × 42 = 320 + 16 = 336
3. Divide by 9: 336/9 = 37 1/3
4. So 42 divided by 1 1/8 = 37 1/3.

See the pattern?

1. The 2-digit number chosen to divide by 1 1/8 is 71.
2. Multiply by 8: 8 × 71 = 568
3. Divide by 9: 568/9 = 63 1/9
4. So 71 divided by 1 1/8 = 63 1/9.
