Answer

$3.02$

Work Step by Step

Use long division to check. Move the decimal points 2 places to the right to get to a division operation with a whole divisor. Continue until the remainder is 0 if possible, otherwise round the result: \[ \begin{array}{rll} & 3.016 & \text{(Quotient)} \\ \hline 2125\,\big) & 6410.000 & \\ & \underline{6375} & \text{(2125 × 3)} \\ & \phantom{0}35.000 & \\ & \phantom{0}\underline{21.250} & \text{(2125 × 1)} \\ & \phantom{0}13.7500 & \\ & \phantom{0}\underline{12.7500} & \text{(2125 × 0.6)} \\ & \phantom{0}1.0000 & \\ & \phantom{0}\underline{0.6375} & \text{(2125 × 0.3)} \\ & \phantom{0}0.3625 & \text{(Remainder)} \\ \end{array} \] We round the result: $3.016\approx 3.02$
