A ribbon of length `0.8` metres is divided into 16 equal parts. What is the length of each part?

Explanation

Ans: `0.8` metres means 80 centimeters. 80 centimetres divided into 16 equal parts gives 5 .centimetres, So, length of each.part ribbon `=5` centimetres `=0.05` metres.
As numbers, we write `0.8 div 16=0.05`

Method of operation `0.8` means 8 tenths 8 cannot be divided by16.
So 8 tenths changed into 80 hundredths. So divided by 16 gives `5 .` So, total 5 hundredths? That is `0.05` Let.s write these operations in shorthand.
