Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers

This video tutorial from MooMooMath and Science teaches how to divide decimals by whole numbers. It explains that when the divisor is a whole number, the decimal point in the dividend can be moved straight up, allowing the division to proceed as with whole numbers. The video provides two examples: dividing 9.150 by 3 and 8.372 by 4, with detailed step-by-step solutions. The tutorial concludes with a suggestion to explore additional resources for further learning.
