How to work it out

Ask how many times 2 fits into 9. 2 × 4 = 8, and 2 × 5 = 10 is too big, so 2 goes into 9 exactly 4 times with 9 − 8 = 1 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 1 is 1/2 of another 2, and 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5. So 9 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5.

Multiply back: 4 × 2 + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9. ✓
