4. 3.7 Dividing Decimals by Decimals.
Objective: by the end of class students can change a divisor with decimals into a whole number and then divide into the dividend to find the quotient.

5. We follow the same rules for dividing whole numbers, as we divide numbers with decimals in them.

This time the DIVISOR will have a decimal in it. We will need to change it into a whole number first by moving the decimal to the right side.

Now we must multiply the DIVIDEND
by 10 too!
When we do this the decimal will now move to the right 1 space.
When we changed the divisor to a whole number we multiplied it by 10. That is why the decimal moved from a part of a whole to a whole
