Dividing a Decimal by a Whole Number

The video tutorial explains how to divide a decimal number by a whole number using a real-world example. Kayla buys 12.42 ounces of candy and wants to share it equally among six friends. The tutorial walks through the division process step-by-step, emphasizing the importance of ignoring the decimal point initially and treating the dividend as a whole number. It covers the four-step division process: divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down. The tutorial also explains how to correctly place the decimal point in the quotient, resulting in each friend receiving 2.07 ounces of candy. The lesson concludes with a recap of the division process for decimals.
