Question from Shelly, a student: How do I divide with a decimal is the DIVISOR ( NOT divisor AND dividend.) ? Also, How do I know when to stop dividing? P.s. please use long division |
Shelly,
If you want to divide 372 by 1.94 think of it as a fraction,
. Now find an equivalent fraction by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 100.
Finally perform long division.
