Example Question #63 : The Number System
Solve:
The first thing that we want to do when dividing decimals is to turn the divisor into a whole number. We do this by moving the decimal place to the right:
If we move the decimal over two places in the divisor, we must also move the decimal over two places in the dividend:
The new division problem should look as follows:
*Notice how we've already placed the decimal in our answer. When we divide decimals, we place the decimal directly above the decimal in the dividend, but only after we've completed the first two steps of moving the decimal point in the divisor and dividend.
Now we can divide like normal:
Think: how many times can 81 go into 190
81 can go into 190 two times times so we write a 2 over the 0 in the dividend:
Next, we multiply 2 and 81 and write that product underneath the 190 and subtract:
Now we bring down the 4 from the dividend to make the 28 into a 284.
