What are the steps to divide a decimal number by another decimal number?


Solution:

To divide a decimal by another decimal:

1. First Move the decimal point in the divisor to the right until it becomes a whole number.

2. Then, move the decimal point in the dividend to the right by the same number of places as the decimal point was moved to make the divisor a whole number.

3. Then, divide the new dividend by the new divisor.

For example:

$\frac{0.25}{0.05}$

$=\frac{25}{5}$               [move the decimal point by two places to the right]

$=5$
