  1. Learn to divide decimals by whole numbers.

  2. Remember! Quotient 0.15 0.75 5 Divisor Dividend

  3. Place a decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Divide as you would with whole numbers. Additional Example 1A: Dividing a Decimal by a Whole Number Find the quotient. 0.84 ÷ 3 0. 2 8 3 0.84 – 6 24 – 24 0

  4. Place a decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Divide as you would with whole numbers. Additional Example 1B: Dividing a Decimal by a Whole Number Find the quotient. 3.56 ÷ 4 0. 8 9 4 3.56 – 32 36 – 36 0

  5. Place a decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Divide as you would with whole numbers. Check It Out: Example 1A Find the quotient. 0.72 ÷ 3 0. 2 4 3 0.72 – 6 12 – 12 0

  6. Place a decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Divide as you would with whole numbers. Check It Out: Example 1B Find the quotient. 2.96 ÷ 4 0. 7 4 4 2.96 – 28 16 – 16 0

  7. Substitute 9 for x. Sometimes you need to use a zero as a placeholder. 9 > 3, so place a zero in the quotient and divide 9 into 36. Additional Example 2A: Evaluating Decimal Expressions Evaluate 0.936 ÷ x for the given value of x. x = 9 0.936 ÷ x 0.936 ÷ 9 0. 1 0 4 9 0.936 – 9 3 – 0 36 – 36 0

  8. Substitute 18 for x. Sometimes you need to use a zero as a placeholder. 18 > 9, so place a zero in the quotient and divide 18 into 93. Additional Example 2B: Evaluating Decimal Expressions Evaluate 0.936 ÷ x for the given value of x. x = 18 0.936 ÷ x 0.936 ÷ 18 0. 0 5 2 18 0.936 – 0 93 – 90 36 – 36 0

  9. Substitute 6 for x. Sometimes you need to use a zero as a placeholder. 6 > 3, so place a zero in the quotient and divide 6 into 36. Check It Out: Example 2A Evaluate 0.636 ÷ x for the given value of x. x = 6 0.636 ÷ x 0.636 ÷ 6 0. 1 0 6 6 0.636 – 6 3 – 0 36 – 36 0

  10. Substitute 12 for x. Sometimes you need to use a zero as a placeholder. 12 > 6, so place a zero in the quotient and divide 12 into 63. Check It Out: Example 2B Evaluate 0.636 ÷ x for the given value of x. x = 12 0.636 ÷ x 0.636 ÷ 12 0. 0 5 3 12 0.636 – 0 63 – 60 36 – 36 0

  11. Remember! Multiplication can “undo” division. To check your answer to a division problem, multiply the divisor by the quotient.

  12. Place a decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Divide as you would with whole numbers. Additional Example 3: Consumer ApplicationJodi and three of her friends are making a tile design. The materials cost $10.12. If they share the cost equally, how much should each person pay? $10.12 should be divided into four equal groups. Divide $10.12 by 4. $2. 5 3 4 $10.12 – 8 21 – 20 Check 12 2.53  4 = 10.12 – 12 Each person should pay $2.53. 0

  13. Place a decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Divide as you would with whole numbers. Check It Out: Example 3 Ty and three of his friends are building a fence. The lumber costs $21.44. If they share the cost equally, how much should each person pay? $21.44 should be divided into four equal groups. Divide $21.44 by 4. $5. 3 6 4 $21.44 – 20 14 – 12 Check 24 5.36  4 = 21.44 – 24 Each person should pay $5.36. 0
