Answer :
To divide [tex]$62$[/tex] by [tex]$0.8$[/tex], we begin with the division:
[tex]$$
\frac{62}{0.8}
$$[/tex]
A useful step when dividing by a decimal is to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same power of [tex]$10$[/tex] to eliminate the decimal. In this case, we multiply by [tex]$10$[/tex]:
[tex]$$
\frac{62 \times 10}{0.8 \times 10} = \frac{620}{8}
$$[/tex]
Next, we perform the division:
[tex]$$
\frac{620}{8} = 77.5
$$[/tex]
Thus, the quotient of [tex]$62$[/tex] divided by [tex]$0.8$[/tex] is:
[tex]$$
\boxed{77.5}
