Four friends share $26 equally. How much does each friend get?
In this video
- Share the dollars, then change the $2 left over into dimes and keep sharing: $6.50 each.
- See why 6.5 ÷ 1.3 is the same as 65 dimes in groups of 13 dimes.
- Learn why moving both decimal points works.
Try it together
4.8 ÷ 0.6
Show the answer
8
Multiply both numbers by 10: 48 ÷ 6 = 8. Think: 48 dimes in groups of 6 dimes.
Ask, don't tell
“Why did we change dollars into dimes?”
“What did we do with the $2 we couldn't share?”
