Understanding Division of Decimals

The video tutorial explains how to divide 99.061 by 100. It begins by setting up the division, ensuring the decimal is correctly placed. The process involves checking how many times 100 fits into parts of the number, handling remainders, and continuing the division until no remainder is left. The final answer is 0.99061, and the tutorial concludes by verifying the result and explaining why it makes sense.

What is the first step in dividing 99.061 by 100?

• Add a zero to the dividend

• Place the decimal point in the quotient

• Multiply the divisor by 10

• Subtract 100 from the dividend

Why is it unnecessary to multiply the divisor by 10 or 100 in this division?

• The dividend is a whole number

• The divisor is less than 10

• The dividend is less than 10

• The divisor is already a whole number

When dividing, why do we place a zero in the quotient when 100 does not go into 99?

• To adjust the decimal point

• To complete the division

• To prepare for the next digit

• To indicate a remainder

What should you do when you have a remainder after subtracting in division?

• Divide the remainder by 2

• Multiply the remainder by 10

• Add a trailing zero to the dividend

• Stop the division

How many times does 100 go into 990?

• 10 times

• 11 times

• 9 times

• 8 times

What is the purpose of adding trailing zeros in the division process?

• To increase the dividend

• To simplify the divisor

• To eliminate the remainder

• To adjust the quotient

What is the final quotient of 99.061 divided by 100?

• 0.99061

• 0.9961

• 0.9906

• 0.99961

Why is it important to have no remainder in decimal division?

• To ensure accuracy

• To avoid repeating numbers

• To simplify the process

• To make the quotient a whole number

What does the leading zero in the final answer indicate?

• The number is greater than one

• The number is a whole number

• The number is less than one

• The number is negative

Why does dividing 99 by 100 result in a number less than 1?

• Because 99 is less than 100

• Because 99 is a whole number

• Because 100 is a divisor

• Because 99 is a decimal
