Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
Dividing numbers that contain decimal points, typically by converting the divisor to a whole number (multiplying both divisor and dividend by a power of 10) and then performing long division.
If you want to split $7.20 equally among 3 people, you're dividing a decimal. The trick for harder problems is: if the divisor is , multiply both numbers by 10 to get . You haven't changed the answer—just made it easier to compute.
