Dividing a Whole Number by a Decimal

The video tutorial explains how to handle decimal division problems, especially when the division seems endless. It begins by simplifying the problem by removing unnecessary zeros and then demonstrates the long division process. The tutorial also covers how to round the quotient to specific place values and explains how to identify non-repeating decimals by looking for patterns in the quotient and subtraction steps.

What is the first step in simplifying a decimal division problem?

• Add zeros to the left of the dividend

• Cross out zeros to the left of the dividend

• Remove unnecessary zeros from the divisor

• Convert the divisor into a whole number

During the long division process, what should you do after subtracting?

• Multiply the remainder by the divisor

• Add a zero to the dividend

• Bring down the next digit

• Round the quotient

How can you complete a division problem that doesn't end?

• Keep dividing until you reach a remainder of zero

• Round the quotient to a specific place value

• Add more zeros to the dividend

• Multiply the quotient by the divisor

What indicates that a decimal is not repeating?

• A pattern in the quotient

• A pattern in subtraction and bringing down

• A remainder of zero

• A repeating digit in the quotient

Why might a division problem trick you into thinking it has a repeating decimal?

• Because the quotient has a repeating digit

• Because the subtraction and bringing down show a pattern

• Because the divisor is not a whole number

• Because the dividend is too large
