1. **State the problem:** We need to divide 285.2 by 9.2. 2. **Write the division:** $$\frac{285.2}{9.2}$$ 3. **Remove the decimal by multiplying numerator and denominator by 10:** $$\frac{285.2 \times 10}{9.2 \times 10} = \frac{2852}{92}$$ 4. **Perform the division 2852 ÷ 92:** - 92 goes into 285 two times (since $92 \times 3 = 276$ is less than 285), so write 3. - Multiply 92 by 3: $92 \times 3 = 276$ - Subtract: $285 - 276 = 9$ - Bring down 2 to make 92. - 92 goes into 92 exactly 1 time. 5. **So, the quotient is:** $$31$$ 6. **Final answer:** $$\frac{285.2}{9.2} = 31$$
