Guided Notes: Dividing Decimals by whole numbers & by decimals.

1. Set up the following division problem correctly as a long division problem

(this is not in the video but a warm up).

25 5

2. Set the following up as a division problem

4.3 2 (do not solve yet)

3. Since this problem has a decimal in it, and it is division, we place the decimal
for the solution ___________________________________________________
4. Finish solving problem 2.

5. Since we did not have enough values inside the division to fully solve the
problem, and we are not looking for a remainder, we must add a _____________
to the end of the decimal and then we bring it down.

6. For the next problem

7.83
9

First, we learned from the last unit that

fractions are just a __________________ problem.

7. Set

7.83
9

as a long division problem, and solve.

8. Since there was a decimal in the division again we have to first _____________
to the decimal point to the solution.

9. The final solution is ______________________________________________

10.Since the solution is less than 1 we place a ________ in the ones place for a
place holder.l

11.Before the video google the following terms and explain in an example what
they are.
a. Divisor
b. Dividend
c. Quotient -

12.As before let us set

4.48 1.4

as a long division problem.

13.Since there is a decimal in the divisor we can _______________ it over,

however since we ____________ it over, we also need to do the same with the
_______________________.
14. Now since we have a whole number in the divisor we can solve it like we did
from the previous videos. Solve the problem.

15.So in summary, when dividing a decimal by a decimal we should first find a

way to clear the decimal from the _____________________. We need to also
move the decimal over for the ___________ the same distance. Afterwards, if
there is still a decimal with the ___________ we transfer it to the top and
proceed with the division. Finally, If we run out of values in the Dividend we
will place a _________ after the last position and bring it down. We do this
until we get a terminating value, or we are supposed to round to the nearest.
