About This Practice

Decimal divided by integer: keep the quotient’s point aligned with the dividend’s. A 9.6 m ribbon is shared equally by 4 — how long is each piece? Tap “Deal” and watch 96 tenths dealt round-robin to the 4 shares, 24 tenths each, which is 2.4; the column method walks through quotient 2 remainder 1.6, then 16 tenths ÷ 4 = 4 tenths.

A 9.6 m ribbon is shared equally by 4 — how long is each piece? Tap “Deal” and watch 96 tenths being dealt round-robin to the 4 shares: 24 tenths each, which is 2.4. The column method shows: quotient 2 remainder 1.6, then 16 tenths ÷ 4 = 4 tenths — the answer is 2.4.

How to Play

  1. Read the problem: 9.6 m shared equally by 4 — how long is each piece?
  2. Tap “Deal” and watch the 96 tenths dealt round by round to 4 shares.
  3. Count each share: 24 tenths, which is 2.4.
  4. Follow the column: quotient 2 with remainder 1.6, then 16 tenths ÷ 4 = 4 tenths.
  5. Check the quotient’s decimal point: is it aligned with the dividend’s?
