Module 1 Division

Solving Division with decimals.

Say the equation in unit form. Solve the basic fact. Write the answer in the correct unit.

3.6 ÷ 9 =

36 tenths ÷ 9 = 4 tenths

Other Examples

• 45 tenths ÷ 5 = 9 tenths, so 4.5 ÷ 5 = .9

• 16 hundredths ÷ 8 = 2 hundredths, so 0.16 ÷ 8 = .02

Multiple Choice

Solve 0.12 ÷ 4 =

• 3

• 0.3

• 0.03

4.8 ÷ 8 =

Look for multiples of the divisor in the number being divided.

1.28 ÷ 4 =

What multiples of 4 do you see?

Look for multiples of the divisor in the number being divided.

1.28 ÷ 4 =

12 tenths ÷ 4 = 3 tenths

8 hundredths ÷ 4 = 2 hundredths

3 tenths + 2 hundredths = 0.32

3.012 ÷ 6 =

30 and 12 are multiples of 6.

30 tenths ÷ 6 = 5 tenths

12 thousandths ÷ 6 = 2 thousandths

5 tenths + 2 thousandths = 0.502
