If you had 1/2 (0.5) of a Pizza left and wanted to share it equally with your friend you would share it so that each of you got 0.5 ÷ 2 of the whole pizza each.
To actually do this, using the "bus stop" [shelter] method of long/short division is the easiest:
Write the whole number divisor outside the bus stop and put the decimal dividend under the bus stop [shelter]. Place a decimal point in the quotient answer above the bus stop [shelter] ABOVE the decimal point in the dividend. Now do the long/short division as normal, ignoring the decimal points (except if there is a remainder extra zeros can be added onto the end of the dividend and the division continued until there is no remainder or the required degree of accuracy has been reached to allow an approximate, rounded, answer) . Finally read the quotient answer including the decimal point.

How is dividing decimals and dividing whole numbers the same?
If you are making use of long division method, the process of dividing a whole number is actually a subset of the process of dividing the decimals. While dividing both you may get a quotient with decimal places. Some exceptions to this do exist in case of whole numbers. Like when you are dividing 100 by 2, the quotient 50 has no decimal places.

How do you get the average for three numbers tha contain decimals?
Exactly the same way you do when they're all whole numbers, or there are more than three numbers, or they're a mixture of whole numbers and decimals: -- Add up all the numbers on the list. -- Divide the big sum by the number of items on the list.
