You have the following expression:
[tex]9.92\div8[/tex]
Where the Divisor is 8 and the Dividend is 9.92
You can solve it using Long division:
1. Rewrite it in this form:
2. Divide the first digit of the Dividend by the Divisor. Choose a number that when you multiply it by 8, you get 9 or a number closer to 9. This would be 1
3. Write the number chosen at the top and the product obtained below the first digit divided and then subtract them.
4. Bring down the next digit of the Divided, which is 9 (Since it is the first number after the decimal point, you must write a decimal point in the Quotient section).
5. Choose a number that when you multiply it by 8, you get 16 or a number closer to 16. This would be 2.
5. Bring down the next digit of the Divided, which is 2. Choose a number that when you multiply it by 8, you get 32 or a number closer to 32. This would be 4.

The answer is:
