Dividing Decimals by Decimals

Step by step

First, write this division sentence with a frame, like the picture shows.

Fill in the Blanks

Step 1: Move the decimal point in the divisor to make a whole number.

How many places do you need to move the decimal point in 1.2 to make it a whole number?

Type answer...

Multiple Choice

Step 2: Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places.

After you have moved the decimal points, what should your division problem be now?

$9.96\ \div\ 1.2$

$99.6\ \div\ 12$

$9.96\ \div\ 12$

$99.6\ \div\ 1.2$

Step 3: Move the decimal point straight up and place it in the quotient.

Multiple Choice

Step 4: Divide. Since we cannot divide 9 by 12, we'll have to divide 99 by 12.

How many times does 12 go into 99? Or, 12 x ? will get us close to 99?

Multiple Choice

Steps 5, 6 and 7: Multiply, subtract, then bring down the 6.

How many times does 12 go into 36, or 12 x ? equals 36?

Multiple Choice

Steps 8 and 9: Multiply and subtract, then you're done!

What is the final answer?

8.3

0.83

.083
