Hi, This is Ally and I'm going to teach you how to divide decimals by whole numbers!

So let's get started ! Here's how:

 

Step 1:  Bring the decimal straight up.

 

Step 2:  Heres a sentance to help you:  Do Martians Serve Cheese Burgers? D= Divide,M= multiply, S=

 

Subtract, C= Check, B= Bring Down.

 

 

Step 3:  Make sure you don't have a remainder!

 

 

 

Step 4. If you end up with a remainder add zeros to the dividend and divide until you don't have a remainder.

 

 

 

 

Here's an example:       2.34

                                                ________

                                                 18.72

 

                                      -16

                                          27 

                                         -24

                                             32

                                            -32

                                              00

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We didn't have a remainder so now we're done.

If you had a remainder you would have to put zeros at the end Remember, divide until there is no remainder anymore.

 

 

 

 

Have Fun dividing decimals by whole numbers!
