When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. Why?

For this type of problem you would have to move the decimal as many places to the right as needed to make the divisor a whole number the you would move the dividend the same amount of times even if it is a whole number . Then you use what you have to divide normally. Hope this helps!
