Understanding Division by Decimals

The video tutorial explains how to solve the division of two by 0.4 using a number line. The instructor guides viewers through the process of making equal jumps of 4/10 from zero to two, demonstrating that five jumps are needed. This method helps visualize division and understand the concept of dividing into equal parts.
