If the numbers are separated by a dividing line, then the dividend is the number to the right of the bracket.
For example, the quotient of 22. 5 ÷ 15. 2 is 1. 48.
If you have more than 1 number after the decimal, keep moving the decimal until the number is whole. For example, with 43. 52 the decimal will move 2 places so you get 4352. If your divisor is a whole number, you don’t need to move the decimal.
For example, if you have 4. 5 ÷ 0. 05 and you move the decimal by 2 places, you’ll get 450 ÷ 5. Consider rewriting the problem so you don’t make simple errors.
So if you moved the decimal 2 places to the right, it would be above the bar and right after the 0 below it.
For example, since 5 doesn’t go into 4, see how many times it goes into 45. Because 5 goes into 45 nine times, place a 9 above the line followed by a zero.
For example, to check 4. 5 ÷ 0. 05 = 90, check to see that 90 x 0. 05 = 4. 5.
