Answer:

To divide decimal numbers: Multiply the divisor by as many 10's as necessary until we get a whole number. Remember to multiply the dividend by the same number of 10's.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 15 divided by 0.2

Let us multiply the 0.2 by 10, which shifts the decimal point out of the way:

0.2 × 10 = 2

But we must also do it to the 15:

15 × 10 = 150

So 15 ÷ 0.2 has become 150 ÷ 2 (they are both 10 times larger):

150 ÷ 2 = 75

And so the answer is:

15 ÷ 0.2 = 75



The number we divide by is called the divisor.
