Dividing Decimals: Day 2 Challenge

What is the first step when dividing decimals where both the divisor and dividend have decimals?

• Subtract the decimals

• Convert the divisor to a whole number

• Add the decimals

• Convert the dividend to a whole number

If you multiply the divisor by 100, what must you also do to the dividend?

• Divide it by 100

• Multiply it by 10

• Multiply it by 100

• Subtract 100 from it

Where do you place the decimal in the quotient after adjusting the divisor and dividend?

• At the end

• Directly above its new position in the dividend

• Directly above its new position in the divisor

• At the beginning

In the example 21.24 ÷ 0.6, what do you multiply the divisor by to make it a whole number?

• 1

• 1000

• 100

• 10

After converting 21.24 ÷ 0.6, what is the new dividend?

• 2124

• 2.124

• 212.4

• 21.24

In the example 1.8 ÷ 0.08, what do you multiply the divisor by to make it a whole number?

• 10

• 100

• 1

• 1000

When moving the decimal two spaces in 1.8 ÷ 0.08, what do you add if there are no numbers in the new positions?

• Twos

• Ones

• Zeros

• Decimal points

In the example 5.34 ÷ 1.2, what is the new divisor after converting?

• 5.34

• 53.4

• 12

• 1.2

In the example 42 ÷ 0.007, what is the new dividend after converting?

• 42

• 4200

• 420

• 42000

Where is the decimal point in a whole number like 42 when converting for division?

• At the end

• At the beginning

• There is no decimal point

• In the middle
