Question

This banana is 8 inches long how many 0.4 inch slices of banana can be cut from this banana

Answer 1

Divide 0.4 from 8 to get 20.
8 ÷ 0.4 = 20

Answer 2

divide 8 by .4

8 is the whole, but you want to find how many parts that are .4 can fit in the whole

`8 / .4 = 20`

as you have to move the dividend decimal forward to make it whole, and add a digit on the divisor
