Q. Divide.

129.6 \div 3.6 =

Rewrite without decimal: Rewrite the expression without decimal. $\newline$ To make the division simpler, we can eliminate the decimals by multiplying both the dividend ( $129.6$ ) and the divisor ( $3.6$ ) by the same power of $10$ . In this case, we can multiply both by $10$ to remove the decimal point. $\newline$ $129.6$ becomes $1296$ and $3.6$ becomes $36$ .
Divide whole numbers: Divide the whole numbers. $\newline$ Now we divide $1296$ by $36$ . $\newline$ $1296 \div 36 = 36$
Check for errors: Check for any possible math errors. $\newline$ We can verify our division by multiplying the quotient by the divisor. $\newline$ $36 \times 36 = 1296$ $\newline$ Since this matches our original dividend, there is no math error.
Adjust decimal places: Adjust for the decimal places if necessary. $\newline$ Since we multiplied both the dividend and the divisor by $10$ in Step $1$ , we do not need to adjust the quotient for decimal places. The quotient is already in its correct form.
