Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Move the decimal point in the divisor and dividend. ...

Place a decimal point in the quotient (the answer) directly above where the decimal point now appears in the dividend.

Divide as usual, being careful to line up the quotient properly so that the decimal point falls into place.
