🔢 General Strategy:
When dividing by a decimal, we can make the divisor a whole number by multiplying
both the dividend and the divisor by the same power of 10. This doesn’t change the value of the quotient.
Example:
`10.42 ÷ 0.2` → Multiply both by 10 → `104.2 ÷ 2`
Then perform standard long division or mental math.
