4. Fluency Practice – Estimate the Quotient
15.4 ÷ 32 = (Think unit form.)
154 tenths ÷ 32
Round the divisor first and then find a multiple of 30 close to 154 tenths.
Divisor = 30 and dividend 150 tenths or 15.0
Write a new division equation to find the estimated quotient.
150 tenths ÷ 30 or 15.0 ÷ 30 = 5 tenths = .5
Try the following problems. (Estimate the quotient.)
2.53 ÷ 43
29.8 ÷ 31
15.98 ÷ 78
2.40 ÷ 40 = 0.06
30 ÷ 30 = 1
16.0 ÷ 80 = .2

5. Concept Development – Problem 1 & 2
904 ÷ 32 and 456 ÷ 16
Estimate the quotient
904 divided by 32 is about 30 and 456 divided by 16 is about 30.
Solve the above problem using the standard algorithm.

6. Concept Development – Problem 1 & 2
What can you say about 904 ÷ 32 and 456 ÷ 16?
The quotients are equal.
Does this mean they are equivalent?
Not necessarily because the dividend and divisor are different.
How can we determine if they are equivalent?
We need to divide it farther down to determine if they are truly equivalent. We can do this by adding the decimal point in and zeros to the right of the decimal.
Where is the decimal point located?
After the last digit (ones place value) in each dividend.

7. Concept Development – Problem 1 & 2
Let’s continue with our division problem.
Think of 9040 tenths and 4560 tenths.
Are the two problems equivalent?
904 32 2
-64 26 4
- 256 8
.00 .2
- 6 4 16
-160 5
456 16 2
-32 13 6
- 128 8 .0 .5
- 8 0
No, because the problem on the left is and the number on the right is 28.5.
Note: Decimal point moves straight up.
