Division with decimals is similar to division with fractions.

 

9 ÷ 1.8 = 9 ÷ 9/5

            = (9 ÷ 9) * 5

            = 5

division with decimals

 

\(0.8 \div 0.002\)

 

write it like a fraction

 

\(\frac{0.8}{0.002}\)

 

Now multiply the bottom by the smallest power of 10 to make it a whole number.  

You will need to mult by 1000. That is the same as moving the dec point 3 places

Since you have to multiply the bottom by 1000 your will need to multiply the top by 1000 also!

 

\(\frac{0.8}{0.002}\times \frac{1000}{1000}= \frac{0800.}{0002.}=\frac{800}{2}=400\)
