Answer

5.8

Work Step by Step

Begin by moving the decimals 2 places to the right. $475.6\div82$ 82 goes into 475 5 times. Put the 5 in the ones place and multiply by 82. Write this (410) below 475 and subtract. 82 cannot go into the remaining amount (65) so bring down the 6 to make it 656. 82 goes into 656 exactly 8 times. Write the 8 in the tenths place, finishing with the answer of 5.8.
