How to work it out

Ask how many times 2 fits into 71. 2 × 35 = 70, and 2 × 36 = 72 is too big, so 2 goes into 71 exactly 35 times with 71 − 70 = 1 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 1 is 1/2 of another 2, and 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5. So 71 ÷ 2 = 35 + 0.5 = 35.5.

Check your answer

Multiply back: 35 × 2 + 1 = 70 + 1 = 71. ✓
