Dividing with Decimals
When dividing with decimals, you must first remove any decimal found in the divisor [the number going into the other (the dividend)]
In the example below, you see we multiply both the divisor and the dividend by 10.
8.4 becomes 84 and 2.604 becomes 26.04.
You then move the decimal straight up from it's place in the dividend to its proper place in the quotient (the answer).
Students will then complete the questions on p. 29 of Mathematics Concepts: Student Workbook.
