1. Problem Description
The problem is to calculate the result of the division: .
2. Solution Steps
To divide by , we can rewrite the division as a fraction:
To get rid of the decimal points, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100:
Now we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
Both 465 and 350 are divisible by 5:
Now we perform long division to find the decimal representation of .
with a remainder of .
So, .
Now, convert the remainder into a decimal: .
with a remainder of .
So we have so far. The remainder is , so we can write it as and divide by .
with a remainder of .
So we have so far. The remainder is , so we can write it as and divide by .
with a remainder of .
So we have so far. The remainder is , so we can write it as and divide by .
with a remainder of .
So we have so far.
We can perform the division:
4. 65 / 3.5 = 1.32857142857...
Rounding to two decimal places gives 1.

3. However, the question doesn't mention rounding so we'll leave the exact value by writing as a fraction or continuing the division until we see repetition.
We have .
Performing the long division:
1. 3285714...
We can write the number as 1.3285714 repeating.
Another approach:
.
Dividing 93 by 70, we get 1.328571428571...
A good approximation is 1.
