3-6 Dividing by Decimals Multiplying the divisor and the dividend by the same number does not change the quotient. 42 ÷ 6 = 7 10 10 420 ÷ 60 = 7 10 10 4,200 ÷ 600 = 7 Helpful Hint

3-6 Dividing by Decimals Additional Example 1A: Dividing a Decimal by a Decimal Find the quotient. 5.2 ÷ 1.3 1.3 5.2 Multiply the divisor by 10 1, or 10 to make it a whole number. Multiply the dividend by the same power of 10. Think: 1.3 x 10 = 135.2 x 10 = 52Divide as with whole numbers. 13 52 4 –52 0 5.2 ÷ 1.3 = 4

3-6 Dividing by Decimals Additional Example 1B: Dividing a Decimal by a Decimal 61.3 ÷ 0.36 0.36 61.30 Think: 0.36 x 100 = 36 61.3 x 100 = 6,130 Multiply the divisor by 10 2, or 100, to make it a whole number. Multiply the dividend by the same power of 10. 36 6,130.000

3-6 Dividing by Decimals Additional Example 1B Continued Place the decimal point in the quotient. Divide as with whole numbers. 36 6,130.000 7 -36 1 253 -252 10 -0 0 100.2 -72 -252 7 280 -252 280 7 28 61.3 ÷ 0.36 = 170.27 __ When a repeating pattern occurs, show three dots or draw a bar over the repeating part of the quotient.

3-6 Dividing by Decimals Additional Example 2: Problem Solving Application After driving 216.3 miles, the Yorks 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 216.3 miles. They used 10.5 gallons of gas.
11
3-6 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. 216.3 ÷ 10.5 200 ÷ 10 = 20
12
3-6 Dividing by Decimals The York family averaged 20.6 miles per gallon. 105 2163.0 -210 2 63 -0 630 -630 0 0.6 Solve Continued 3 10.5 216.3 Multiply the divisor and dividend by 10. Think: 10.5 x 10 = 105 216.3 x 10 = 2,163 Place the decimal point in the quotient. Divide as with whole numbers.
13
3-6 Dividing by Decimals Look Back4 The answer is reasonable since 20.6 is close to the estimate of 20.
14
3-6 Dividing by Decimals Check It Out: Example 2 After driving 154.7 miles, the Changs filled up with 8.5 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 154.7 miles. They used 8.5 gallons of gas.
15
3-6 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 8.5154.7 The Chang family averaged 18.2 miles per gallon.
16
3-6 Dividing by Decimals Look Back4 Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient. 154.7 ÷ 8.5 → 160 ÷ 8 = 20 The answer is reasonable because 18.2 is close to the estimate of 20.
