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

$(i)\; 7\div 3.5$

$\; 7\div 3.5=7\div \frac{35}{10}=7\times\frac{10}{35}=\frac{70}{35}=2$

$(ii)\; 36\div 0.2$

$\; 36\div 0.2=36\div\frac{2}{10}=36\times\frac{10}{2}=180$

$(iii)\; 3.25\div 0.5$

$\; 3.25\div 0.5=\frac{325}{100}\div\frac{5}{10}=\frac{325}{100}\times\frac{10}{5}=\frac{65}{10}=6.5$

$(iv)\; 30.94\div 0.7$

$\; 30.94\div 0.7=\frac{3094}{100}\div\frac{7}{10}=\frac{3094}{100}\times\frac{10}{7}=\frac{442}{10}=44.2$

$(v)\; 0.5\div 0.25$

$\; 0.5\div 0.25=\frac{5}{10}\div\frac{25}{100}=\frac{5}{10}\times\frac{100}{25}=\frac{10}{5}=2$

$(vi)\; 7.75\div 0.25$

$\; 7.75\div 0.25=\frac{775}{100}\div\frac{25}{100}=\frac{775}{100}\times\frac{100}{25}=31$

$(vii)\; 76.5\div 0.15$

$\; 76.5\div 0.15=\frac{765}{10}\div\frac{15}{100}=\frac{765}{10}\times\frac{100}{15}=510$

$(viii)\; 37.8\div 1.4$

$\; 37.8\div 1.4=\frac{378}{10}\div\frac{14}{10}=\frac{378}{10}\times\frac{10}{14}=27$

$(ix)\; 2.73\div 1.3$

$\; 2.73\div 1.3=\frac{273}{100}\div\frac{13}{10}=\frac{273}{100}\times\frac{10}{13}=\frac{21}{10}=2.1$
