Question

How can I divide decimals

Answer 1

So lets say 58 x 2.056 well you move the decimal to the side so count the numbers behind the decimal (3) and make it like 2056 x 58 then after you get the answer you move it up 3 spaces up to the left and you get 119.248

Answer 2

You can write the problem with a division box, move the divisor decimal point the amount of spaces that it would take to make the number whole. Move the decimal if the dividend the same amount of spaces as the divisor. Move the decimal point directly up above the division bar, divide, check your work
