Today's Goal: In this lesson, students will be able to divide using a decimal divisor (the number outside in a division problem).
Remember: To divide you must have a whole number as a divisor. If there is a decimal in the divisor you must move it to the right. Count the places you move it and move i t the same number of places in the dividend (the number inside) even if you have to add some zeros to make it happen.
Does McDonalds Sell Cheese Burgers?
Example:
Remember: When a problem doesn't end evenly you may annex a zero or zeros and keep going. For this class do not add any more than three zeros. If you need to add more than that stop and go back to check your work or reread the directions. You may be requested to round your answer to a given place value.
