Course Dividing by Decimals Multiplying the divisor and the dividend by the same number does not change the quotient. 42 ÷ 6 = 7 10  ÷ 60 = 7  10  10 4,200 ÷ 600 = 7 Helpful Hint

Course Dividing by Decimals Additional Example 1A: Dividing a Decimal by a Decimal Find the quotient. 5.2 ÷ Multiply the divisor and dividend by the same power of ten. There is one decimal place in the divisor. Multiply by 10 1, or 10. Think: 1.3 x 10 = x 10 = 52 Divide – ÷ 1.3 = 4

Course Dividing by Decimals Additional Example 1B: Dividing a Decimal by a Decimal 61.3 ÷ Think: 0.36 x 100 = x 100 = 6,130 Make the divisor a whole number by multiplying the divisor and dividend by 10 2, or ,

Course Dividing by Decimals Additional Example 1B Continued Place the decimal point in the quotient. Divide. 36 6, ÷ 0.36 = __ When a repeating pattern occurs, show three dots or draw a bar over the repeating part of the quotient.

Course Dividing by Decimals Check It Out: Example 1A Find the quotient. 6.6 ÷ Multiply the divisor and dividend by the same power of ten. There is one decimal place in the divisor. Multiply by 10, or 10. Think: 1.1 x 10 = x 10 = 66 1 Divide ÷ 1.1 = 6

Course Dividing by Decimals Check It Out: Example 1B 51.2 ÷ Think: 0.24 x 100 = x 100 = 5,120 Make the divisor a whole number by multiplying the divisor and dividend by 10 2, or

Course Dividing by Decimals Check It Out: Example 1B Continued Divide. 24 5, ÷ 0.24 = __ When a repeating pattern occurs, show three dots or draw a bar over the repeating part of the quotient. 8

Course Dividing by Decimals Additional Example 2: Problem Solving Application After driving miles, the York’s filled up with 10.5 gallons of gas. On average, how many miles did they drive per gallon of gas? 1 Understand the Problem The answer will be the average number of miles per gallon. List the important information: They drove miles. They used 10.5 gallons of gas.

Course Dividing by Decimals 2 Make a Plan Solve a simpler problem by replacing the decimals in the problem with whole numbers. If they drove 10 miles using 2 gallons of gas, they averaged 5 miles per gallon. You need to divide miles by gallons to solve the problem. Solve 3 First estimate the answer. You can use compatible numbers ÷ ÷ 10 = 20

Course Dividing by Decimals The York family averaged 20.6 miles per gallon Solve Continued Multiply the divisor and dividend by 10. Think: 10.5 x 10 = x 10 = 2,163 Place the decimal point in the quotient. Divide.

Course Dividing by Decimals Look Back4 The answer is reasonable since 20.6 is close to the estimate of 20.

Course Dividing by Decimals Check It Out: Example 2 After driving miles, the Chang’s filled up with 10.5 gallons of gas. On average, how many miles did they drive per gallon of gas? 1 Understand the Problem The answer will be the average number of miles per gallon. List the important information: They drove miles. They used 10.5 gallons of gas.

Course Dividing by Decimals 2 Make a Plan Solve a simpler problem by replacing the decimals in the problem with whole numbers. If they drove 10 miles using 2 gallons of gas, they averaged 5 miles per gallon. You need to divide miles by gallons to solve the problem. Solve 3 First estimate the answer. You can use compatible numbers ÷ ÷ 10 = 19

Course Dividing by Decimals The Chang family averaged 18.2 miles per gallon. Solve Continued Multiply the divisor and dividend by 10. Think: 10.5 x 10 = x 10 = 1,911 Place the decimal point in the quotient. Divide.

Course Dividing by Decimals Look Back4 The answer is reasonable since 18.2 is close to the estimate of 19.
