How to work it out

Ask how many times 10 fits into 79. 10 × 7 = 70, and 10 × 8 = 80 is too big, so 10 goes into 79 exactly 7 times with 79 − 70 = 9 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 9 is 9/10 of another 10, and 9 ÷ 10 = 0.9. So 79 ÷ 10 = 7 + 0.9 = 7.9.

Check your answer

Multiply back: 7 × 10 + 9 = 70 + 9 = 79. ✓
