Question

How do you divide decimals?

Answer 1

lets say you need to divide 3 by 1.2
make the 3 a decimal 3.0 / 1.2
make it into a whole number 30 and 12
divide the biggest number by the smallesr
30/12
get your answer - 2.5

Answer 2

You would move the decimal point over until it is out of the divisor:


`5.5 / .25`


`(55)/(2.5)`


`(550)/(25)`
