Division with decimals
Dividing decimals by integers
Example 1
At a ski resort, \latex{ 70 } cups of hot chocolate were sold in one day. The revenue was €\latex{ 189 }. How much does one cup of hot chocolate cost?
Solution
\latex{70} cups \latex{189\,euros}
\latex{\underline{1 \text{ cup } 189\div70}}
Estimation: \latex{2 \lt 189\div70 \lt 3.}
Perform the division using the column method.
After the first step, the remainder is \latex{ 49 }.
Since \latex{49 = 49.\textcolor{199fe4}{0}}, you can continue dividing.

When you reach the place where the decimal point is in the dividend, put a decimal point in the quotient as well.
\latex{189\div70 = 2.7}, so a cup of hot chocolate costs \latex{2.7\,euros}.
Example 2
On a trip to Austria, three friends spent \latex{ 92.5 \;euros } on fuel.
How much do they have to pay each if they want to divide this amount equally among themselves?
Solution
\latex{3} persons \latex{92.5\,euros}
\latex{\underline{1 }}  person \latex{\underline{92.5\div3\;euros}}
Estimation: \latex{90\div3 \approx30.}
Perform the division using the column method.
The quotient is a recurring decimal. You must round the amount of money to be paid by one person.

\latex{30.8333... \approx 30.83}. One person must pay \latex{ 30.83 \;euros } for the fuel.
Integers or decimals can be divided by an integer. The quotient is either a terminating or recurring decimal.
If the divisor is a decimal, the division can be performed as if it were an integer.
Every integer can be expressed as a decimal.
E.g.: \latex{189 = 189.0.}
Division with decimals
Example 3
Perform the following divisions using the column method.
  1. \latex{1.19\div3.5}
  1. \latex{17.5\div1.25}
Solution
In both cases, the divisor is a decimal. Use the principle that the quotient does not change when the dividend and the divisor are multiplied by the same number other than zero.
  1. Estimation: \latex{1.19\div3.5\approx1\div4; 0\lt1\div4 \lt1.}
If the dividend and the divisor are multiplied by \latex{ 10 }, the divisor becomes an integer.
