Dividing Decimals
Step 1. Make the divisor a
whole number by moving Example
the decimal point to the right
2.5 32.800
Step 2. Move the decimal point
in the dividend to the right
the same number of places 25. 328.00
as in step 1. If there are not
enough places, add zeros to the right 13.12
of the dividend. 25. 328.00
Step 3. Place the decimal point 25
in the quotient above the 78

new decimal point in the 30
dividend. Divide as usual. 25

Decimals Applications in Foreign Currency
The Wall Street Journal clip shows in China the price of Microsoft
Office was reduced to 199 yuan from an original price of 699
yuan. Using the currencies table lets us see what the original as
well as sales price is in U.S. dollars. In the table on page 74 1 yuan
equals $.1463. To find the original selling price you multiply the
number of yuan (699) times $.1463.

699 yuan x $.1463 = $102.26

The original selling price in U.S. Dollars is $102.26. To find the


new selling price in U.S. dollars, you multiply the number of yuan
199 times $.1463. The new selling price in U.S. dollars is $29.11.

$199 x $.1463 = $29.11 Table factor from currency table on page 74

Check $29.11 x 6.8348 = 198.96 yuan


Each 1 equal 6.8348 yuan
