Dividing Decimals Concepts

The video tutorial covers three types of division problems involving decimals: when the divisor is a decimal, when the dividend is a decimal, and when both are decimals. It explains the steps to convert the divisor into a whole number by adjusting the decimal point and balancing the equation by doing the same to the dividend. The tutorial provides examples and uses short division to solve these problems, ensuring the viewer understands how to handle remainders and adjust decimals appropriately.

What is the first step when dividing with decimals?

• Convert the dividend to a whole number

• Check if the divisor is a whole number

• Multiply both numbers by 10

• Add zeros to the dividend

How do you make a decimal divisor a whole number?

• Add zeros to the end

• Move the decimal point to the left

• Move the decimal point to the right

• Divide by 10

What must be done to the dividend if the divisor is adjusted?

• Subtract the same value from it

• Add a zero to the end

• Nothing, leave it as is

• Move the decimal point the same number of places

What is the result of dividing 36 by 0.8 after adjusting the numbers?

• 4.5

• 0.45

• 450

• 45

When the dividend is a decimal, what is the first thing to check?

• If the divisor is a whole number

• If the dividend is a whole number

• If both numbers are decimals

• If the dividend is larger than the divisor

What happens to the decimal point in the dividend during division?

• It is removed

• It is brought straight up into the answer

• It is moved to the left

• It is ignored

How do you handle a remainder when dividing decimals?

• Multiply it by 10

• Ignore it

• Add a zero to the dividend and continue

• Subtract it from the answer

What is the result of dividing 15.3 by 6?

• 2.55

• 25.5

• 0.255

• 255

What is the first step when both the divisor and dividend are decimals?

• Check if the divisor is a whole number

• Multiply both by 100

• Add zeros to both numbers

• Convert both to fractions

How do you adjust the dividend when both numbers are decimals?

• Multiply it by 10

• Move the decimal point the same number of places as the divisor

• Add a zero to the end

• Subtract the divisor from it
