To divide a decimal by a decimal, make the divisor a whole number. • The amount of places you move the decimal in the divisor move the SAME AMOUNT of places in the dividend
Move the decimal point so that the divisor is a whole number. Move the same amount of decimal spots in the dividend. Example 1 Find 5.94 0.2. 2 9 . 7 Place the decimal point. – 4 Divide as with whole numbers. 1 9 – 1 8 1 4 – 14 0
Check by multiplying the quotient and divisor. If correct product will match dividend.
Example 2 Find 8.1 ÷ 0.054. 5 0 1 – 54 27 0 Write a zero in the ones place of the quotient because 0 ÷ 54 = 0. – 270 0 0 Answer: So, 8.1 ÷ 0.054 = 150.
Example 3 Find 0.052 1.3. 0 0 . 4 Place the decimal point. – 0 0 5 Move the decimal place to make the divisor a whole number. – 0 0 5 2 – 52 0 Answer: So, 0.052 ÷ 1.3 is 0.04.
Example 4 Francisco made $357.25 last week. Erin made $185.30. How many times as much money did Francisco make as Erin? Round to the nearest tenth. Find 357.25 ÷ 185.3. . 9 1 2 0 – 1853 1719 5 – 16677 518 0 – 3706 1474 To the nearest tenth, 357.25 ÷ 185.30 = 1.9. So Francisco made about 1.9 times as much as Erin.
