Method two:

Multiply both numbers by 100 (by moving the decimal point of each two places to the right.
0.10 ÷ 2.50 -> 10 ÷ 250

Set up as fraction
\[\large \frac{10}{250}\]
and reduce, or use long division:

ohh okay but how would you divid this sowwy i stupid today

Answer 9

Parth's method would look like this:
\[\large 0.10 ÷ 2.5 = \frac{1}{10} ÷ 2\frac{1}{2}\]
\[\large \rightarrow \frac{1}{10} ÷ \frac{5}{2} = \frac{1}{10} × \frac{2}{5}\]
\[\large \rightarrow \frac{1}{\cancel{10}5} × \frac{\cancel{2}1}{5} = \frac{1}{25}\]
Though, since the question was asked using decimals, you should answer using decimals.
