Solution Steps

To divide a decimal by another decimal, you can convert the division into a simpler form by multiplying both the dividend and the divisor by the same power of 10 to eliminate the decimal points. In this case, multiply both 0.88 and 0.2 by 10 to convert the division into \(8.8 \div 2\). Then, perform the division as you would with whole numbers.

Step 1: Convert to Whole Numbers

To simplify the division \(0.88 \div 0.2\), we multiply both the dividend and the divisor by 10: \[ 0.88 \times 10 = 8.8 \] \[ 0.2 \times 10 = 2.0 \] Thus, the division can be rewritten as: \[ 8.8 \div 2.0 \]

Step 2: Perform the Division

Now, we perform the division: \[ 8.8 \div 2.0 = 4.4 \]

Final Answer

The result of the division \(0.88 \div 0.2\) is \[ \boxed{4.4} \]
