Dividing Decimals/ Mixed Decimals Up to 2- Decimal Places
I. Introductory Concept
Before you go through the lesson, familiarize yourself with the terms below.
1. decimal - a number whose whole number part and the fractional part is
separated by a decimal point
2. divisor - a number by which another number is to be divided
3. dividend – it is the amount that you want to divide up
4. mixed decimal – a mixed number whose fractional part is a decimal fraction
5. quotient – a result obtained by dividing one quantity by another
6. divide – to split into equal parts or groups

III. Activities
LET US REVIEW
Find the quotient. Choose the letter of the correct answer.
1. 4.8 ÷ 0.50 = A. 9.5 B. 9.6 C. 10.6 D. 90.2
2. 152.25 ÷ 7.5= A. 20.3 B. 30.03 C. 4.03 D. 21.3
3. 5.25 ÷ 1.2= A. 3.675 B. 3.30 C. 4.375 D. 52.85
4. 6.2 ÷ 1.8 = A. 3.45 B. 3.46 C. 3.47 D. 3.44
5. 161.7 ÷ 2.1= A. 67 B. 76 C. 77 D. 87
LET US STUDY
Study the shaded grids below. How many 0.25 are there in 6.5
6.5 ÷ 0.25 = 26
So, dividing 6.5 by 0.25 will give you 26 as a quotient.

are sold in pieces, and the big ones are packed in wedges. Identical wedges weighing 0.5
kg each are made from a big cheese weighing 2.5 kg. How many wedges can be made
from each big cheese?
To solve this problem, you have to think that in 2.5 kg. of big cheese, there are two
1 kilograms and one 0.5 kilogram.
The whole cheese has been divided into equal parts, so in order to know how many
wedges you can obtain, you should divide the weight of the big cheese by the
weight of identical wedges.
Let’s illustrate in order to solve the problem.
1 kg 1 kg 0.5 kg
Dividing it into equal parts, there are two 0. 5 kg. in 1 kg.
0.5 kg 0.5 kg 0.5 kg 0.5 kg 0.5 kg
So, there are 5 wedges that can be made from each big cheese.

Try to solve another story problem below.
A newly- constructed 4.86-kilometer long national road, will be lined with
electric posts, 0.09 kilometer apart. How many posts will there be?
Before you can solve the problem, you must answer the following comprehension
questions below.
a. How long is the national road?
b. What is the distance of each electric posts?
c. What is being asked in the problem?
d. What operation will you use to solve the problem?
To find the answer to the given problem, you are going to move the decimal points
of the dividend and the divisor two places to the right. Their relationship will not
change. Then, divide just like whole numbers.

Thus, there are 540 electric posts that will be lined in the national
road.
LET US PRACTICE
Use models to divide whole numbers by decimals. Complete the missing term.
1. 2 ÷ 0.5 = ___________ 3. 1.6 ÷ 8 = ____________
2. 1.85 ÷ 0.2 = ______________

4. 2.4 ÷ 0.8 = __________
LET US REMEMBER
 To divide a decimal/ mixed decimals by another decimal:
1. Change the divisor to a whole number by moving the decimal

point to the rightmost place.
2. Move the decimal point in the dividend to as many places as the
decimal point in the divisor is moved.
3. Divide like whole numbers.
