To divide multi digit decimals it is okay to keep the decimal in ___

Answer 1

To divide multi-digit decimals, it is okay to keep the decimal in the dividend (the number being divided). You can retain the decimal point in the dividend while adjusting the divisor (the number you are dividing by) if it has a decimal point. However, it is often easier to eliminate the decimal point in the divisor by multiplying both the dividend and the divisor by a power of 10, thus simplifying the division process. After performing the division, you can place the decimal point in the quotient (the result) according to the decimal places in the original numbers.
