The problem is to evaluate the division $124.3 \div 0.44$.

1. Problem Description

The problem is to evaluate the division $124.3 \div 0.44$.

2. Solution Steps

To perform the division $124.3 \div 0.44$, we can rewrite it as a fraction $\frac{124.3}{0.44}$. To eliminate the decimal in the denominator, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by

1

0

0. $$ \frac{124.3}{0.44} = \frac{124.3 \times 100}{0.44 \times 100} = \frac{12430}{44} $$

Now, we can perform long division of $12430$ by $44$.

$12430 \div 44$:

First, divide $124$ by $44$. $44$ goes into $124$ two times.

$2 \times 44 = 88$. $124 - 88 = 36$.

Bring down the $3$ to get $363$.

Divide $363$ by $44$. $44$ goes into $363$ eight times.

$8 \times 44 = 352$. $363 - 352 = 11$.

Bring down the $0$ to get $110$.

Divide $110$ by $44$. $44$ goes into $110$ two times.

$2 \times 44 = 88$. $110 - 88 = 22$.

Add a decimal point and a $0$ to get $220$.

Divide $220$ by $44$. $44$ goes into $220$ five times.

$5 \times 44 = 220$. $220 - 220 = 0$.

Therefore, $12430 \div 44 = 282.5$.

3. Final Answer

282.5
