how do i easily figure out stuff like 3,2/0.04
Well... I'm not too great at calculations in my head, but here's one way.
The question is... how many times does 0.04 go into 3.2 ?
4 | goes into | 32 | 8 | times, | so... |
0.4 | goes into | 32 | 80 | times, |
|
0.04 | goes into | 32 | 800 | times, | and |
0.04 | goes into | 3.2 | 80 | times. |

Here's a suggestion if the fractions combined with decimals are messing with your mind.
\(\frac{3.2}{0.04}*\frac{100}{100}=\frac{320}{4}\)
Multiplying by 100/100 has no effect on the value of this fraction as it is equivalent of multiplying by 1.
\(\frac{320}{4}=\frac{32*10}{4}=\frac{8*10}{1}=80\)
