Mr. Squirrel and his little squirrel buddies paid $35.01 at a football game to buy 9 cheeseburger meals.

How much did each cheeseburger meal cost?

• $2.85

• $2.89

• $3.84

• $3.89

5.4 ÷ 0.9

• 0.06

• 0.6

• 6

• 60

Which statement about 6.45 ÷ 0.5 is true?

• The dividend is a whole number.

• The divisor should become 5 before you divide

• The product does not have a hundreds place.

A candy store owner has 8.32 pounds of jelly beans.  If she puts the jelly beans into 8 jars, how much candy will go in each jar?

• 4

• 1.04

• 1.40

• 1.004

What is the first step when dividing the problem above?

• Move the decimal in the divisor AND dividend TWO places.

• Move the decimal in the divisor AND dividend THREE places.

• Move the decimal in only the divisor

• Bring the decimal straight up.

Find the value of this expression

37.68÷2.4

• 1.57

• 14.7

• 15.7

• 1570

When Dividing a number by a decimal we...

• We make the Divisor into a whole number by moving the decimal point to the RIGHT and the decimal to the RIGHT on the inner number.

• Get rid of the decimal by erasing it

• We make the Divisor into a whole number by moving the decimal point to the LEFT and the decimal to the LEFT on the inner number.

• Add zeros to the inner number

Calculate the result of this division

45.6÷3.2

• 1.42

• 14.25

• 15.25

• 1425
