3-5 Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers Additional Example 2A: Evaluating Decimal Expressions Evaluate 0.936 ÷ x for the given value of x. x = 9 9 0.936 – 9 3 – 0 36 Substitute 9 for x. 0.10 0.936 ÷ x 0.936 ÷ 9 – 36 0 4 Sometimes you need to use a zero as a placeholder. 9 > 3, so place a zero in the quotient and divide 9 into 36.

3-5 Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers Additional Example 3: Consumer Application Jodi and three of her friends are making a tile design. The materials cost $10.12. If they share the cost equally, how much should each person pay? 4 $10.12 – 8 21 – 20 12 $2. 53 $10.12 should be divided into four equal groups. Divide $10.12 by 4. – 12 0 Place a decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Divide as you would with whole numbers. Check 2.53 4 = 10.12 Each person should pay $2.53.
