FAQ
What strategy converts a decimal divisor to a whole number before dividing?⌄
Multiply both the dividend and the divisor by the same power of 10 — for a tenths divisor, multiply both by 10 — so the divisor becomes a whole number without changing the quotient.
Why doesn't multiplying both numbers by 10 change the quotient?⌄
Multiplying both by the same factor is equivalent to multiplying the division expression by 10/10 = 1, preserving the value of the quotient.
How does this concept connect to equivalent ratios in 5th grade math?⌄
The dividend-to-divisor relationship is a ratio — scaling both values by the same factor produces an equivalent ratio with the same value, just like equivalent fractions.
