I will use the standard algorithm to divide decimals. L22 Dividing Decimals I will be able to find the quotient in 4 of 5 classwork problems.
Food for thought: Suppose you have $10.40 and you want to buy as many $0.65 spider rings as possible. • How can you figure out how many spider rings you can buy?
Remember the parts of a division problem: Quotient: answer 9 5 45 Dividend: The amount that you want to divide up. Divisor: The number you divide by
Dividing a Decimal by a Whole Number • Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. • Divide as you normally would (DMSCB)
Example 1 DMSCB 2 . 5 5 12.5 10 2 5 25 0
Dividing a Decimal by a Decimal • Move the decimal point in the divisorto the right, until you get to the end of the digits. • Count how many places you moved that decimal. • Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right.
Example 2 0.3 6.72 one space 03 67.2 New problem
Example 2 Solve: 2 2 . 4 DMSCB 3 67.2 6 0 7 6 1 2 1 2 0
Example 3 0.38 13.3 The decimal must be moved 2 spaces to the right. When we move this one 2 spaces, we find that we need to add a space. What will we fill it with? Answer: Fill it in with a 0. 13.3 becomes 1330 SO, our problem becomes 038 into 1330. 038 is the same as 38.
3 5. Example 3 38. 1330. Find quotient and share answer with a shoulder buddy. 114 19 0 190 0
Reflect: fist to 5 I will use the standard algorithm to divide decimals. Assess I will be able to find the quotient in 4 of 5 classwork problems.
Classwork • 17.4 3 • 100.38 21 • 3.14 0.2 • 0.816 0.68 • Suppose you have $10.40 and you want to buy as many $0.65 spider rings as possible.
The Basics: • When you multiply by 10, 100, or 1,000, you can move the decimal point to the right. • The number of decimal places you move is the same as the number of zeroes you are multiplying by. • When you divide by 10, 100, or 1,000, you can move the decimal point to the left. Move the decimal point once for each zero you are dividing by.
1.492 x 100 Move the decimal to the right: two spaces. 149.2
2,124.94 ÷ 1,000 Move the decimal to the left: three spaces. 2.12494
4.2 ÷ 100 Move the decimal point to the left: two spaces. Add a zero for the second space. .042
15.36 x 1,000 Move the decimal point to the right: three spaces. Add a zero for the third space. 15,360
