### Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 14 Example Answer Key

Example 1.
0.5 ÷ 0.1

Rewrite 0. 5 ÷ 0.1 as a fraction.
$$\frac{0.5}{0.1}$$

Express the divisor as a whole number.
$$\frac{0.5}{0.1} \times \frac{10}{10}=\frac{5}{1}=5$$

Example 2.
Evaluate the expression. First, convert the decimal division expression to a fractional division expression in order to create a whole number divisor.
25.2 ÷ 0.72
$$\frac{25.2}{0.72} \times \frac{100}{100}=\frac{2,520}{72}$$

Use the division algorithm to find the quotient.
25.2 ÷ 0.72 = 35

Represent this situation using the same units.
36,252.6 tenths ÷ 69 tenths

Estimate the quotient.
35,000 ÷ 70 = 500

Express the divisor as a whole number.
$$\frac{3,625.26}{6.9} \times \frac{10}{10}=\frac{36,252.6}{69}$$

Use the division algorithm to find the quotient.

Use multiplication to check your work.
525.4 × 69 = 36,252.6

### Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 14 Exercise Answer Key

Convert the decimal division expressions to fractional division expressions in order to create whole number divisors. You do not need to find the quotients. Explain the movement of the decimal point. The first exercise has been completed for you.

Exercise 1.
18.6 ÷ 2.3
$$\frac{18.6}{2.3} \times \frac{10}{10}=\frac{186}{23}$$
18.6 ÷ 23
I multiplied both the dividend and the divisor by ten, or by one power of ten, so each decimal point moved one place to the right because they grew larger by ten.

Exercise 2.
14.04 ÷ 4.68
$$\frac{14.04}{4.86} \times \frac{100}{100}=\frac{1404}{486}$$
1,404 ÷ 486
I multiplied both the dividend and divisor by one hundred, or by two powers of ten, so each decimal point moved two places to the right because they grew larger by two powers of ten.

Exercise 3.
0.162 ÷ 0036
$$\frac{0.162}{0.036} \times \frac{1,000}{1,000}=\frac{162}{36}$$
162 ÷ 36
I multiplied both the dividend and divisor by one thousand, or three powers often, so each decimal point moved three places to the right because they grew larger by three powers of ten.

Convert the decimal division expressions to fractional division expressions in order to create whole number divisors. Compute the quotients using the division algorithm. Check your work with a calculator.

Exercise 4.
2,000 ÷ 3.2
$$\frac{2,000}{3.2} \times \frac{10}{10}=\frac{20,000}{32}$$

20000 ÷ 32 = 625
625 × 32 = 20000
2,000 ÷ 3.2 = 625
625 × 3.2 = 2,000

Exercise 5.
3,581.9 ÷ 4.9
$$\frac{3,581.9}{4.9} \times \frac{10}{10}=\frac{35,819}{49}$$

35,819 ÷ 49 = 731
731 × 49 = 35,819
3,581.9 ÷ 4.9 = 731
731 × 4.9 = 3,581.9

Exercise 6.
893.76 ÷ 0.21
$$\frac{893.76}{0.21} \times \frac{100}{100}=\frac{89,376}{21}$$

89,376 ÷ 21 = 4,256
4,256 × 21 = 89,376
893.76 ÷ 0.21 = 4,256
4,256 × 0.21 = 893.76

Exercise 7.
6.194 ÷ 0.326
$$\frac{6.194}{0.326} \times \frac{1,000}{1,000}=\frac{6,194}{326}$$

6,194 ÷ 326 = 19
19 × 326 = 6,194
6.194 ÷ 0.326 = 19
19 × 0.326 = 6.194

### Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 14 Opening Exercise Answer Key

Divide $$\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{10}$$ Use a tape diagram to support your reasoning.
This question is asking the following: $$\frac{1}{2} \text { is } \frac{1}{10}$$ of what number?

Relate the model to the invert and multiply rule.
$$\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{10}{1}=\frac{10}{2}=5$$

Another way $$\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{10}$$
→ Let’s look at the Opening Exercise another way. We can represent $$\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{10}$$ using decimals.
→ We can represent the fractions $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{1}{10}$$ with which decimals?
One-half can be represented with 0.5, and one-tenth can be represented by 0.1.
→ Display the following:
$$\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{10}$$
0.5 ÷ 0.1
→ This expression can be represented with the same interpretation as the Opening Exercise: 5 tenths is 1 tenth of what number?
→ Let’s model this question with a tape diagram.

1 unit → 0.5
10 units → 10 × 0.5 = 5

→ What do you notice about the diagram and the quotient?
The diagram is set up exactly the same as in the Opening Exercise with the fraction, and the quotient is the same. Since $$\frac{1}{2}$$ is equivalent to 0.5, and $$\frac{1}{10}$$ is equivalent to 0.1, the quotients must be the same.

→ Look back at the problem: 0.5 ÷ 0.1. Rewrite this division expression as a fraction.
$$\frac{0.5}{0.1}$$

→ How can we express the divisor as a whole number?
Multiply by a fraction equal to one.

→ Choose a fraction to multiply in order to express the divisor as a whole number.
I could multiply by $$\frac{0.5}{0.1}$$ by $$\frac{10}{10}$$ to represent the divisor as the whole number 1.

→ Find the Product of $$\frac{0.5}{0.1} \times \frac{10}{10}$$
$$\frac{0.5}{0.1} \times \frac{10}{10}=\frac{5}{1}=5$$

→ What do you notice about the quotient?
It is the same as when we used a tape diagram to determine the quotient.

→ Why do you think the quotients are the same?
They are the same because I multiplied the divisor and the dividend by the same power of ten.

→ What conjecture can you make?
Because the divisor and the dividend both became ten times greater, when we write the numbers as ten times as much, we move the decimal to the right one place.
