How do you divide 1.6 ÷ 0.2?
In this lesson you will learn how to divide decimals by using your understanding of multiplication.
Multiplication and division are inverse operations. 45 ÷ 9 = n n x 9 = 45 9 x n = 45
Multiplying a number by 10 gives a product that is 10 times as large as the original number. = 1 0.10 = 0.1 0.1 x 10 0.01 x 10 =
Dividing a number by 10 gives a quotient that is 10 times smaller than the original number. 0.01 0. 1 ÷ 10 = 1 ÷ 10 = 0.1
Forgetting to take the decimal into consideration when dividing. 12 ÷ 0.6 ≠ 2
1.6 ÷ 0.2 8 groups of 2 is 16 so 8 groups of 0.2 is 1.6 How many groups of 2 tenths are in 16 tenths? I could count 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, etc. 8x 2 = 16 so 8 x 0.2 = 1.6 1.6 ÷ 0.2 = 8
Jack has $35 and he wants to buy some grapes that cost $.50 a lb. How many pounds of grapes could he buy? How many groups of $0.50 are in $35? I could count $0.50, $1, $1.50, etc. 7 groups of 5 is 35 so 7 groups of $0.50 is $3.50 so 7x $0.50 = $3.50 7 x 5 = 35 70 groups of $0.50 is $35 so 70x $0.50 = $35 $35 ÷ $0.50 = 70
In this lesson you have learned how to divide decimals by using your knowledge of multiplication.
