Yes! :) I looked it up on Google for explanations, so here you go.

 

Dividing Decimals

If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.

Divide as usual. ...

Put decimal point directly above decimal point in the dividend.

Check your answer.

 

Dividing Mixed Numbers

Step 1: Write the mixed numbers as improper fractions. Step 2: Rewrite the division problem using the improper fractions. So to divide mixed numbers you should change the fractions to improper fraction and the convert the problem to a multiplication question. Then you will be ready to solve.

 

Hope this helps!
