IM 5.13: Dividing Decimals by Decimals

Let’s divide decimals by decimals.

  • Activity 13.2: Placing Decimal Points in Quotients
  • Activity 13.4: Practicing Division with Decimals

Lesson Summary

  • In this lesson, we saw that we can divide decimals by decimals by first making the decimals whole numbers. As long as we multiply both numbers by the same number, the value of the quotient will not change.
    • What equivalent expression can we write to help us find 18.4 ÷ 0.2?
    • How might we find the quotient of 184 ÷ 20?
    • Do we always multiply the dividend and divisor by 10? For example, what number should we multiply to enable us to find 1.25 ÷ 0.005?
    • Why is it helpful to multiply by a power of 10 instead of another number that is not a power of 10?
