Answer:
The decimal point should be placed between 9 and 7
i.e
269.70
Step-by-step explanation:
In Long division method, the formula is given as:
Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient
We were given
26.97 ÷ 6.3
26.97 = Dividend
6.3 = Divisor
We are told in the question that:
as long division set up where 63 is on the outside of the division symbol and 26970 is on the inside so that the divisor is written as a whole number,
This means, since the Divisor 6.3 is made into an whole number = 63
It means 6.3 was multiplied by 10
6.3 × 10 = 63
In Long division, whatever rule is applied to the Divisor must be applied to the Dividend.
Since 6.3 was multiplied by 10 = 63(whole number), then the dividend must be multiplied by 10
Dividend = 26.97 × 10 = 269.7
Therefore, the place where should the decimal point be placed in the dividend is between 9 and 7
= 269.70
