As we know, while dividing decimal, we first express the decimal in term of fraction and then divides it,

And

Dividing by a number is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal of that number. So

So

$(i)\; 0.4\div 2$

$\; 0.4\div 2=\frac{4}{10}\div2=\frac{4}{10}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$

$(ii)\; 0.35\div 5$

$\; 0.35\div 5=\frac{35}{100}\div5=\frac{35}{100}\times\frac{1}{5}=\frac{7}{100}=0.07$

$(iii)\; 2.48\div 4$

$\; 2.48\div 4=\frac{248}{100}\div4=\frac{248}{100}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{62}{100}=0.62$

$(iv)\; 65.4\div 6$

$\; 65.4\div 6=\frac{654}{100}\div6=\frac{654}{100}\times\frac{1}{6}=\frac{109}{100}=1.09$

$(v)\; 651.2\div 4$

$\; 651.2\div 4=\frac{6512}{10}\div4=\frac{6512}{10}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1628}{10}=162.8$

$(vi)\; 14.49\div 7$

$\; 14.49\div 7=\frac{1449}{100}\div7=\frac{1449}{100}\times\frac{1}{7}=\frac{207}{100}=2.07$

$(vii)\; 3.96\div 4$

$\; 3.96\div 4=\frac{396}{100}\div4=\frac{396}{100}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{99}{100}=0.99$

$(viii)\; 0.80\div 5$

$\; 0.80\div 5=\frac{80}{100}\div5=\frac{80}{100}\times\frac{1}{5}=\frac{16}{100}=0.16$
