Dividing Tenths and Whole Numbers

This video tutorial explains how to divide tenths by whole numbers. It begins with a basic division example of 12 divided by 3, illustrating how division asks how many times a number fits into another. The tutorial then applies this concept to dividing tenths, using examples such as 1.2 divided by 3, 3.2 divided by 8, 1.5 divided by 5, and 4.8 divided by 6. Each example is broken down logically, showing how to think about division in terms of decimal numbers and groups.

Why must the result of dividing 1 and 2/10 by 3 be less than one?

• Because 3 fits into 12 more than once

• Because 3 fits into 12 exactly once

• Because 3 does not fit into 12 even once

• Because 3 fits into 12 less than once
