decimal numbers less than zero

This figure has an area of 3.6 units. Let’s divide =

Let’s work some out together! 1 st step: First number goes inside. Second number goes outside. Second number goes outside. 2 nd step: Move the decimal pt. in the divisor all the way to the right (make it a whole number), then move the decimal pt inside the same amount. Place decimal pt. straight above on top. 3 rd step: long division (be careful to keep digits lined up). keep digits lined up) ÷
