How To Divide Decimals

In this video, Mahalo math expert Julie Clark explains how to divide with decimals in the divisor and dividend.

How to Divide Decimals
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dividing with decimals can seem difficult at first, but it's important to treat them like any other long division problem. For example, use this problem: First set up the problem as you would any other long division equation. Now you need to remove the decimal point from the divisor. Do this by moving it to the right until the divisor is a whole number (14).Do the same thing to the dividend by moving its decimal point to places to the right (44.8).Now place the decimal point directly above the division sign.Continue solving the problem using normal long division until you find your answer.14 goes into 44 three times with a remainder of two. Place the three on the left side of the decimal point in the answer area. Subtract 42 (three multiplied by 14) from 44 to get 2. Then bring down the eight to get 28. Now divide that number by 14 to get 2. Put the two on the right side of the decimal and you can see that the final answer is 3.2.

[ManpreetKaur-utuq]

Thanks teacher all students need teacher like you

[Indiegirl]

I love her. I wish they did more videos with her explaining math. I am trying to study for my GED, and a lot of this I had forgotten about. But she explains it so simply and quickly.

I understand the lesson. But, I don't understand how you could be writing backwards.

[karid]

Thank you OMG you saved me I had no idea how to divide the decimal on my homework you must be a great math teacher or tutor

[timmysponge]

My head was starting to hurt from watching all the other tutorials, bless your heart. omfgg

[rachel]

Thank you so much very helpful!! im homeschooled and i teach myself most of the time videos like this r not helpful at all, but this video u can hear u english is ur first language u explain it very well. thx again now im gonna ace my test!!

[ANTONBIGMAN]

I am at home and are sick. This really helps me to understand what they are doing at scool! Thanks a lot!

[joshuaavery]

Wait what the heck do you literally have to learn how to write backwards or is this video mirrored or something because that is so cool xD

[laurenlamont]

Very helpful! I was having a lot of trouble understanding until you explained this aspect of Mathematics to me! Thanks again! :)

[TheDarkFire]

Thank you! :) My science teacher is making me find the density of a rock, and I forgot how to divide by decimals. Thanks again!! :D

[juliatrujillo]

Thank you! Your video was SO helpful! I'm in sixth grade and I adore my teacher but...her teaching skills are rather...meh. We've been learning about dividing decimals and I've been stressed and overwhelmed yet in 2:24 simple minutes you've been able to accurately and easily explain this to me and it's crystal clear! You should win a teaching award!!! XD

[MC-qche]

this was really helpful because I can never find a video that explains it so thoroughly you are the best😂

[Yeet-spkf]

Finally someone just says it simply ;u;
