📌 The Key Concept:
When dividing decimals, you can make the divisor (the number you’re dividing *by*) a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right in both the divisor and the dividend. Then divide as usual.

Example:
> `4.2 ÷ 0.2` → Move decimal 1 place right in both numbers → `42 ÷ 2 = 21`
