Step-by-step solution for: Decimal Division Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
Let's solve each of the decimal division problems step by step. The goal is to find the quotient (the result of dividing one number by another).
---
To divide decimals:
1. Move the decimal point in the divisor (the number you're dividing by) to make it a whole number.
2. Move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right.
3. Then divide as usual.

---
This is the same as #15 → 0.08
✔ Answer: 0.08
---
- Move decimal: 1.2 → 12, 3.024 → 30.24
- 30.24 ÷ 12 = ?
Break it down:
- 12 × 2.5 = 30
- 30.24 - 30 = 0.24
- 0.24 ÷ 12 = 0.02
