Section 4.6

2. Objectives Divide decimals
Find the average, median, and mode of a set of decimals

3. Objective 1: Divide decimals

4. Objective 1 Decimal divided by a whole number
Decimal divided by a decimal

5. Objective 1 To divide two numbers
If the divisor is not a whole number, move the decimal point in both the divisor and dividend to the right as many places as needed to make divisor a whole number
Place decimal point in quotient above decimal point in dividend
Divide as if whole numbers
Round to given place value if directed to

6. Objective 2: Find the average, median, or mode of a set of decimals

7. Objective 2 To find the average To find the median To find the mode
Add the numbers
Divide the sum by the number of numbers in the set
To find the median
List the numbers in order from smallest to largest
If there is an odd number of numbers in the set, median is middle number
If there is an even number of numbers, the median is the average of the two middle numbers
To find the mode
Find the number or numbers that occur the most
If all numbers occur the same amount, there is no mode
