1. The document provides steps for dividing decimals by decimals. It includes moving the decimal in the divisor to make it a whole number, moving the decimal in the dividend the same number of places, and bringing up the decimal to the quotient. 2. There are examples of dividing decimals with values such as 9.0 ÷ 0.9, 29.6 ÷ 3.7, and 10.81 ÷ 2.3. 3. Questions are asked such as how many weeks it will take Anna to save $6.35 per week to buy a $57.15 game, and how long it took Ben to run a 19.5 mile race at 7.8 miles per hour.

2. Evaluate the expression x ÷1.2 for the given value of x
1. x = 40.8 2. x = 1.8 3. x = 10.8
4. x = 14.4 5. x = 4.32 6. x = 0.06
7. Anna is saving $6.35 a week to buy a computer game that costs $57.15. How
many weeks will she have to save to buy the game?
8. Ben ran a 19.5-mile race last Saturday. His average speed during the race was 7.8
miles per hour. How long did it take Ben to finish the race?

Steps for Dividing Decimals by Decimals: Whatever you do outside the house,
you must do inside the house!
1. Move the decimal in the divisor to
3.2)11.52
the right to make it a whole number
2. Move the decimal in the dividend
32)11.52
the same number of places .
3. Bring up the decimal to the quotient 32)115.2
4. Divide as usual.
Now you try:
