How to work it out

Ask how many times 10 fits into 55. 10 × 5 = 50, and 10 × 6 = 60 is too big, so 10 goes into 55 exactly 5 times with 55 − 50 = 5 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 5 is 5/10 of another 10, and 5 ÷ 10 = 0.5. So 55 ÷ 10 = 5 + 0.5 = 5.5.

Multiply back: 5 × 10 + 5 = 50 + 5 = 55. ✓
