Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers
Additional Example 2A: Evaluating Decimal Expressions
Evaluate ÷ x for the given value of x.
x = 9
0.936 ÷ x
0.936 ÷ 9
Substitute 9 for x. 0. 1 4
Sometimes you need to use a zero as a placeholder.
– 9
9 > 3, so place a zero in the quotient and divide 9 into 36. 3
– 0 36
– 36

11. Additional Example 2B: Evaluating Decimal Expressions
Course 1
3-6
Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers
Additional Example 2B: Evaluating Decimal Expressions
Evaluate ÷ x for the given value of x.
x = 18
0.936 ÷ x
0.936 ÷ 18
Substitute 18 for x. 0. 5 2
Sometimes you need to use a zero as a placeholder.
– 0
18 > 9, so place a zero in the quotient and divide 18 into 93. 93
– 90 36
– 36

0.636 ÷ x
0.636 ÷ 6
Substitute 6 for x. 0. 1 6
Sometimes you need to use a zero as a placeholder.
– 6
6 > 3, so place a zero in the quotient and divide 6 into 36. 3
– 0 36
