Sorry if this is very basic! But I can't seem to do something like



$10000 /0.08$, without a calculator. How would one go about solving this without a calculator?

    Observe that $0.08 = frac {8} {100}.$ So we have $$frac {10000} {0.08} = frac {10000 times 100} {8}.$$ Can you proceed now?

    Firstly: Dividing by $8$ is three times dividing by $2$. Consequently, $1000:2=500$, $1000:4=(1000:2):2)=500:2=250$ and $$1000:8=((1000:2):2):2=(500:2):2=250:2=125.$$ Secondly, learn these quotients by heart: every humanistically educated human being should know how much a half, a quarter and an eighth of $1000$ is. As well as that a day has $86400$ seconds ...

Just make some transformations:



$0.08=frac8{100}$. Therefore the term becomes $frac{10000}{frac8{100}}$



Then:




Dividing a term by a fraction is the same as multiplying the term by the
reciprocal of the fraction.




That means $10000cdot frac{100}8=frac{10000}{8}cdot 100=1250cdot 100=125,000$.

We know that $0.08=frac{8}{100}$, so $frac{1}{0.08} = frac{100}{8}$ we can do this as one divided by a fraction can be just flipped to remove the divided "bit".



So $$frac{10000}{0.08}=frac{100 * 10000}{8}$$



Then $8$ goes into $10000$, $1250$ times so $frac{10000}{0.08}=1250*100= 125000$

    You can write $$frac{10000cdot 100}{8}$$

      $begingroup$

      You could turn 0.08 to a fraction, take recipricol, then multiply that by 10000 which is a lot easier imo. If you don't want to do the weird decimal movement thing.

        $$frac{10000}{frac8{100}}=frac{1000000}{8}=frac{(50*2)(50*2)(50*2)}{2*2*2}=??$$

          We know that $0.08=frac{8}{100}$, so $frac{1}{0.08} = frac{100}{8}$ we can do this as one divided by a fraction can be just flipped to remove the divided "bit".



          So $$frac{10000}{0.08}=frac{100 * 10000}{8}$$



          Then $8$ goes into $10000$, $1250$ times so $frac{10000}{0.08}=1250*100= 125000$

                          You could turn 0.08 to a fraction, take recipricol, then multiply that by 10000 which is a lot easier imo. If you don't want to do the weird decimal movement thing.

Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
