How to work it out

Ask how many times 2 fits into 27. 2 × 13 = 26, and 2 × 14 = 28 is too big, so 2 goes into 27 exactly 13 times with 27 − 26 = 1 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 1 is 1/2 of another 2, and 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5. So 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 0.5 = 13.5.

Check your answer

Multiply back: 13 × 2 + 1 = 26 + 1 = 27. ✓
