Decimal Division Mastery: Dividing Decimals by Decimals

In this video, Mr. J provides a quick review of dividing decimals. The tutorial covers two main examples: dividing a decimal by a whole number and dividing a decimal by another decimal. For the first example, the process involves setting up the division, bringing the decimal point straight up, and following standard division steps. In the second example, the divisor is not a whole number, so it is converted by moving the decimal point. The video concludes with a reminder of additional resources and practice problems available in the description.

What is the first step when dividing a decimal by a whole number?

• Multiply the divisor by 10

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend

• Bring the decimal straight up in the answer

• Convert the whole number to a decimal
