Divide Decimals • Vocabulary Reminder: • Dividend • Divisor • Quotient 8 16 ÷ 2 = 8 2 16 16 = 8 2
NOTES:Dividing Decimals No Decimal in the Divisor: • Bring inside decimal UP to the Quotient • Divide! Decimal in the Divisor: • Move Divisor’s decimal OVER • Move Dividend’s decimal OVER • Bring the decimal UP to the Quotient • Divide!
EXAMPLES:Dividing Decimals • 7.6 ÷ 4 (round to tenths place) 1 9 1.9 4 7.6 4 - Bring decimal UP! 3 6 3 6 - 0
EXAMPLES:Dividing Decimals 2) 12.9 ÷ 6 (round to tenths place) 2 1 5 2.2 6 12.9 0 12 - Add a zero and keep going! NO remainders! 0 9 6 - 3 0 30 - 0

Check for Understanding Tell whether each statement is sometimes, always, or never true. Give an example or counterexample for each. Division is commutative. To divide decimals, simply multiply the divisor and dividend by the same power of 10 before dividing. Never; 3.5 ÷ 0.5 = 7.0 but 0.5 ÷ 3.5 ≈ 0.14 Always: 14.4 ÷ 1.2 -> When you move the decimals, you are multiplying both numbers by 10 -> 144 ÷ 12
