Whole Number Division with Decimal Answers

This video tutorial by Mr. J covers whole number division resulting in decimal answers. It includes two examples: dividing 572 by 5 and 28 by 16. The tutorial explains the use of decimal points and placeholder zeros to achieve accurate decimal results. The process involves setting up the division, performing calculations, and using estimation when necessary. The video emphasizes the importance of continuing the division process until a clean zero is achieved, ensuring the final answer is in decimal form.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Multiplication of decimals

• Addition of fractions

• Subtraction of integers

• Whole number division with decimal answers

In the first example, what is the initial division performed?

• 22 divided by 5

• 7 divided by 5

• 5 divided by 5

• 2 divided by 5

What is the remainder when 572 is divided by 5 before converting to decimal?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

How is the decimal point placed in the answer for the first example?

• Between the digits of the whole number

• After the whole number

• Before the whole number

• It is not used

In the second example, what is the first step after setting up the division?

• Multiply 16 by 2

• Use the number 28

• Subtract 16 from 28

• Divide 16 by 2

What estimation is used to find how many times 16 fits into 120?

• 16 times 6

• 16 times 8

• 16 times 5

• 16 times 7

What is the final answer for the division of 28 by 16?

• 1.5

• 1.85

• 1.25

• 1.75

Why are placeholder zeros used in the division process?

• To increase the value of the number

• To make the number even

• To simplify the division

• To continue the division process

What is the key takeaway from the video regarding decimal division?

• Divide only whole numbers

• Avoid using decimals

• Use placeholder zeros to reach a clean cut zero

• Always use estimation

What should you do if you don't reach a clean cut zero in the division?

• Stop the division

• Add more placeholder zeros

• Change the divisor

• Multiply the dividend
