How do you know where to place the decimal in a quotient?

Step-by-step explanation:Move the decimal point in the divisor and dividend. ...

Place a decimal point in the quotient (the answer) directly above where the decimal point now appears in the dividend.

Divide as usual, being careful to line up the quotient properly so that the decimal point falls into place.

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
