Divide Decimal Numbers using the Partial Quotients Algorithm 5-110

Transition from number bonds to the vertical, partial quotients algorithm. Continue to apply the distributive property by breaking dividends into known multiples of the divisor. What's 9.72 ÷ 4? Since 9.72 = 8 + 1.6 + .12, 9.72 ÷ 4 = (8 + 1.6 + .12) ÷ 4 = (8 ones + 16 tenths + 12 hundredths) ÷ 4 = 2 + .4 + .03 = 2.43.
