Build It

Find 3.6 ÷ 3 using models.

1. The model shows 3.6 using three wholes and six tenths.

2. Divide the blocks into three equal groups. Draw a model that represents the equal groups.

How many whole blocks are in each group? __________
How many tenths are in each group? ___________
So, 3.6 ÷ 3 = ____________.

1.2
Explanation:

There is one block in each group.
There are 2 tenths in each group.
So, 3.6 ÷ 3 = 1.2

Try It

Find 4.8 ÷ 2 using models.

1. The model shows 4.8 using four wholes and eight tenths.

2. Divide the blocks into two equal groups. Draw a model to represent the equal groups.
How many whole blocks are in each group? __________
How many tenths are in each group? ___________
So, 4.8 ÷ 2 = ____________.

2.4
Explanation:

There are 2 whole blocks are in each group.
There are 4 tenths are in each group.
So, 4.8 ÷ 2 = 2.4

Question 1.
The table shows some quotients. Study the table. Write a rule you can use to find the quotient of a decimal and a whole number without using models.

Rule : multiplication by 10
Explanation:

Question 2.
Mathematical PRACTICE Justify Conclusions Use your rule from Exercise 1 to find 3.5 ÷ 7 without using models. Explain the process you used.
0.5
Explanation:
Given, 3.5 ÷ 7
Rule : multiplication by 10
3.5 x 10 = 35
35 ÷ 7 = 5
35 = 5 x 7

Question 9.
Mathematical PRACTICE Find the Error Joseph used base-ten blocks to find 2.1 ÷ 3. He stated that 2.1 ÷ 3 = 0.6. Find his mistake and correct it.

0.7
Explanation:

3 equal groups of 0.7

Question 10.
How can I use models to divide decimals by whole numbers?
Models of Division is a equal sharing of models.
Explanation:
An equal sharing model of division is a situation where the dividend represents the number of objects and the divisor represents the number of groups that the objects will be distributed among.
