Question
how do you divide integers when one is a whole number and one is a decimal?
Answers

When the divisor is a decimal, you need to move the decimal over to make it a whole number. Then, move the decimal in the dividend the same number of places. Put the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
For instance, 325 / 2.5 = 3250 / 25 = 130.
