How do you divide decimals?

It's the same as normal division. All you need to do is add the decimal in. Let me show you:

2.5/2
2/2 What's 2 divided by 2? It's 1.
.5/2 What's 5 divided by 2? 2.5, right? But since it's .5 (not 5) divided by 2, the decimal goes somewhere else. Since the 5 comes just to the right of the decimal, so will the 25. You have .25.

1 + .25 = 1.25. And that's the answer! 2.5/2=1.25. See how I broke it up into pieces? It makes life easier.

Leya [2.2K]

We know that 1 serving = 4 bananas
3 apples
6 pears
and 20 strawberrys
To get 30 we need to half 20 =10 20+10=30

That means we also needs to half the other ones
1/2 of 4 = 2 4+2=6
1/2 of 3 = 1.5 3+ 1.5=4.5
1/2 of 6 = 3 6+3=9

6 Bananas
4.5 Apples
9 Pears
30 strawberries diced.
