In long division with decimals, you place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided). If the divisor has a decimal, you can move the decimal point to the right until it becomes a whole number, and you must do the same with the dividend. After aligning the decimal points, proceed with the division as you would with whole numbers.

What is similar about when you multiply decimals and divide decimals by a power of ten?
Both multiplication and division can be performed simply by moving the decimal point of the number: to the right if multiplying, to the left if dividing. E.g. for 10, you can move the decimal point by one place to perform the operation. Multiplication by 10: move decimal one place to the right (add zero if already a whole number). Division by 10: move decimal point one place to the left (one place in if a whole number).
How do you i divide decimals?
To divide decimals, first, eliminate the decimal point from the divisor by multiplying both the divisor and the dividend by the same power of 10. Then, perform the division as you would with whole numbers. Finally, place the decimal point in the quotient directly above where it would appear in the dividend, based on the number of decimal places in the dividend. Adjust the quotient if necessary to ensure accuracy.
How do I place the decimal point in the product of two decimals?
If the two decimal numbers have x and y digits after the decimal points, then the product has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.
When dividing decimals what must you do if there is a decimal in the divisor?
When dividing decimals, if there is a decimal in the divisor, you should move the decimal point in the divisor to the right until it becomes a whole number. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right. Once both numbers are adjusted, you can proceed with the division as usual.
Which is the hundredths place in decimals?
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 0.01 is equal to one hundredth. The hundredths place is the second digit after the decimal point - the first is the tenths place.

Where is the thousandth place in decimals?
It is the third digit after the decimal point.
Where is the tenths place in decimals?
It is the digit to the right of the decimal point. eg. 11.26. the 2 is in the tenths place

How do I place the decimal point in the product of two decimals?
If the two decimal numbers have x and y digits after the decimal points, then the product has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.
How do you divide with decimals in the dividend?
Put the decimal point for the quotient exactly above the decimal point in the dividend. Then forget about it, and just keep your digits lined up as you do the division. The decimal point winds up exactly where it belongs in the quotient.
When dividing decimals what must you do if there is a decimal in the divisor?
When dividing decimals, if there is a decimal in the divisor, you should move the decimal point in the divisor to the right until it becomes a whole number. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right. Once both numbers are adjusted, you can proceed with the division as usual.
Which is the hundredths place in decimals?
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 0.01 is equal to one hundredth. The hundredths place is the second digit after the decimal point - the first is the tenths place.
Is a decimal point a math symbol?
Possibly, as decimals can't be decimals without decimal points.
How do you divide 5.4 by 81?
You use short division for decimals by whole numbers, then replace the decimal point in between the numbers, the answer is 15.0
Where to place a decimal when adding mixed decimals?
The decimal point, which I think you meant, is lined up vertically in a row of numbers to be summed.
Which way do you go when you divide decimals the left or right?
When dividing decimals, you move the decimal point to the right in the divisor (the number you are dividing by) to make it a whole number. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right. This ensures that the division remains equivalent. The result will have its decimal point placed according to the new position of the decimal in the dividend.
