How to work it out

Ask how many times 10 fits into 78. 10 × 7 = 70, and 10 × 8 = 80 is too big, so 10 goes into 78 exactly 7 times with 78 − 70 = 8 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 8 is 8/10 of another 10, and 8 ÷ 10 = 0.8. So 78 ÷ 10 = 7 + 0.8 = 7.8.

Check your answer

Multiply back: 7 × 10 + 8 = 70 + 8 = 78. ✓
