Since multiplication and division are inverse operation, we can make a model to find the quotient of decimal divided by a decimal.
- Example A Divide 1.5 by 0.5.
-
| Step 1: |
Shade two decimal models to represent 1.5. |
| Step 2: |
Cut the model into groups of 0.5. |
| Step 3: |
There are 3 groups of 0.5 in 1.5. |

- Example B Divide 0.45 by 0.15
