Dividing Decimals and Long Division

The video tutorial explains how to solve a division problem involving decimals by converting the divisor into a whole number and performing long division. The process involves moving the decimal point in both the divisor and dividend, then calculating the quotient by determining how many times the divisor fits into the dividend. The tutorial concludes with verifying the result and presenting the final quotient.

What is the first step in solving a division problem involving decimals?

• Multiply both numbers by 10

• Add zeros to the dividend

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend

• Convert the divisor to a whole number

How do you adjust the divisor to make it a whole number?

• Add a zero to the end

• Move the decimal point to the right

• Move the decimal point to the left

• Divide by 10

What should you do after adjusting the divisor to a whole number?

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend

• Multiply the dividend by 10

• Add zeros to the dividend

• Ignore the decimal points and perform long division

When performing long division, what do you do if the current part of the dividend is smaller than the divisor?

• Multiply the dividend by 10

• Bring down the next digit

• Add a zero to the quotient

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend

How do you verify if the chosen number in the quotient is correct during long division?

• Add the divisor to the remainder

• Check if the quotient is a whole number

• Ensure the remainder is less than the divisor

• Multiply the quotient by the divisor

What is the next step after finding the remainder in long division?

• Subtract the remainder from the dividend

• Multiply the remainder by 10

• Add a zero to the quotient

• Bring down the next digit

What is the final step in completing the division process?

• Add a zero to the quotient

• Ensure the remainder is zero

• Multiply the quotient by the divisor

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend

How is the decimal point placed in the final quotient?

• Directly above its position in the dividend

• At the end of the quotient

• It is removed completely

• At the beginning of the quotient

Why is a zero placed in the ones place value of the quotient?

• To indicate the absence of whole numbers

• To simplify the division process

• To make the quotient a whole number

• To ensure the remainder is zero

What is the result of dividing 3.8356 by 8.6?

• 0.0446

• 4.46

• 44.6

• 0.446
