In dividing a decimal with two-digit decimals:

• First, make both divisor and dividend a whole number by multiplying 100 or
by moving decimal point two times going to the right.
• Then, divide as in dividing with a whole number

In dividing whole numbers with a decimal quotient:

• Divisor must be bigger than its dividend

• Write the equation in fraction form, dividend as numerator and divisor as
denominator
• Divide numerator by its denominator, since numerator is smaller than
denominator it can’t be divided
• Add zero to the numerator but before that add a decimal point before zero
quotients must then have a decimal point.

The four-step method to solve the problem.

1. Understand:
Know what is asked.
Identify the relevant facts.
2. Plan – Choose the operation or the formula to use.
3. Solve – Perform the strategy.
4. Check - Verify if the answer is correct
- State the complete answer.
