When dividing decimals, what must you do if there is a decimal in the divisor? HELPPPP
in both dividend and divisor, move the decimal the same number places to the right, until the divisor becomes a whole number
e.g. 123.569 ÷ 56.78
= 12356.9 ÷ 5678 , the divisor has 2 decimal places, so I moved the decimal
2 places to the right for both dividend and divisor.
It is the divisor who decides what to do.
1. dividing decimals what do we do to the divisor?
2. How do we make the divisor a w
whole number?
3. Where will we put the decimal point in the quotient

1. 3.96÷0.9=67.1
2. 2.22÷0.03=5.3
3. 10.2÷ 1.5= 6.8
4. 1.325÷0.25=74
5. 7.381÷0.11=4.4

When dividing decimals, if there is a decimal in the divisor, you can follow these steps:
1. Move the decimal point in the divisor to the right until it becomes a whole number.
- Count the number of decimal places you moved the decimal point.
2. Move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right as you did in step 1.
3. Divide the adjusted dividend by the adjusted divisor (the whole number).
4. Finally, place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
Let's look at an example:
Divide 3.6 by 0.3.
1. Since the divisor 0.3 has one decimal place, we need to move its decimal point one place to the right. It becomes 3.
2. We also need to move the decimal point in the dividend 1 place to the right. It becomes 36.
3. Now, divide the adjusted dividend (36) by the adjusted divisor (3).
The quotient is 12.
4. Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend, which gives us the final answer: 12.
Therefore, when dividing decimals with a decimal in the divisor, you can convert it into a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right, and then proceed with the division as usual.
