Name: _______________________________ Parent:______________________ Points: ________ UNIT 16: DECIMAL DIVISION Here's how you divide one decimal by another: Suppose you want to divide 4.5 by 1.8 First, you write your problem as you normally would: Next, you move the decimals in both the numbers to the right the same number of times until the divisor is a whole number. The decimal point in your answer will be lined up with the one in the number you are dividing into. Now, you do your division: Next, if you have a remainder, bring down a zero from the number being divided and continue: Check your answer for reasonableness by ignoring the part past the decimal and dividing in your head! For example, in this last problem 45/18 is about 2 so the answer should be near 2. Divide these decimals: (These problems are all hard but don't use your calculator!) 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)          Congratulations! You have finished!
