Dividing a Decimal by a Two-Digit Decimal (Part 1)

This lesson teaches how to divide a decimal by a 2-digit decimal by converting the divisor into a whole number. The process involves moving the decimal point in both the divisor and dividend, and understanding the equivalence of fractions. By multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same number, the division problem is simplified to a fraction, which is then converted back to a division expression.
