How to Divide a Decimal by a Decimal

The video tutorial explains how to solve a standardized math problem involving the division of decimals. It begins by identifying the dividend and divisor, then demonstrates converting the divisor into a whole number by moving the decimal point. The same adjustment is made to the dividend. The division is then performed, resulting in a quotient of 20, which corresponds to answer D.

What is the initial expression that needs to be solved in the video?

• 2.4 multiplied by 0.12

• 2.4 divided by 0.12

• 0.12 divided by 2.4

• 2.4 plus 0.12

Why do we need to convert the divisor into a whole number?

• To simplify the expression

• To change the dividend

• To make the division easier to perform

• To avoid using decimals

How many spaces do we move the decimal point to convert 0.12 into a whole number?

• One space to the left

• Two spaces to the right

• Three spaces to the right

• One space to the right

After converting, what is the new expression that needs to be solved?

• 2.4 divided by 12

• 24 divided by 12

• 240 divided by 12

• 240 divided by 0.12

What is the final quotient obtained from the division?

• 12

• 24

• 20

• 2
