The strange story of:37.5 1.25
Dividing by a
Decimal Number
Next Slide
FIRST…
Come up with a QUICK ESTIMATEQUICK ESTIMATE…
37.5 1.25 looks like it will be close to
37 1, which would equal just 37.
SO… we will be looking for an answer around 37 and REJECT an answer of
300-something or 3-something.

37.5 1.25
3 7 51 2 5
To solve this problem using the “paper and pencil” procedure we would set it up like THIS.
BUT… the regular division procedure does not work comfortably with decimal
divisors… what can we do ?
Next Slide
37.5 1.25
3 7 51 2 5
will give the same answer as 375 12.5
...since we multiplied BOTH Dividend and Divisor by 10.
…and we can do this multiplication by moving the decimal point one place to the right !
Next Slide
and 375 12.5
3 7 51 2 5 0
will give the same answer as 3750 125
…since we multiplied BOTH Dividend and Divisor by 10 again.
…and we can do this multiplication by moving the decimal point one more place to the right !
and annexing a zero in the ones place.
Next Slide
and 3750 125we can solve in the usual way

Changing Fractions to Decimals
• You can change a fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator
• Numerator; the top part of a fraction• Denominator; the bottom part of a
fraction– E.g. 4/5 = 4 ÷ 5 = 0.80– 5)4.00 = 0.8

I understand this idea fully.
I have some understanding but I need more practice.
I don’t understand this idea at all and need to work again on this unit of work.

LO: To be able to divide a whole number by a number that is a decimal or which has decimals e.g. 60 ÷ 1.5
I understand this idea fully – I could do the sum above.
I have some understanding but I need more practice.
I don’t understand this idea at all and need to work again on this unit of work.
