To divide by decimals, put the decimal right where it is above it, and you just do regular dividing

You move the decimal how ever many times it takes to make it a whole number, but you have to do the same to the other number even if the other number doesn't have a decimal in it. For example 6.78 divided by 45. You would move the decimal spot twice to make 6.78 into 678. Then you have to move the "decimal place" in 45. This will then make it 4500

phoebe needs to use 3/4 cup to make one batch of cookies how many batches can she make with 12 cups of sugar?

sattari [20]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}\stackrel{sugar}{cups}&\stackrel{cookies}{batches}\\\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\\frac{3}{4}&1\\\\12&b\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{4}\quad }{12}=\cfrac{1}{b}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{4}\quad }{\frac{12}{1}}=\cfrac{1}{b}\\\\\\\cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{12}=\cfrac{1}{b}\implies \cfrac{3}{48}=\cfrac{1}{b}\implies 3b=48\implies b=\cfrac{48}{3}\implies b=16$

Monarch butterflies flap their wings about 12 times a second in

Inessa [10]

Remember: 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in one hour.
So if butterflies flap 12 times per second, multiply that number by 60 to get how many times the butterfly flaps their wings in a minute. then, multiply that number by 60 again to get the flaps of number per minute.
12x60=720x60=43,200
