Dividing Decimals
Dividing with decimals is a bit difficult. These days, most teachers don't mind much if you use a calculator. But it's good to know how to do it yourself, too, and you always need to be good at estimating the answer, so you can make sure the calculator's answer is reasonable.
Recall that in the problem x÷y=z , also written
yzx
x is called the dividend , y is the divisor , and z is the quotient .
