(105)
When your divisor contains decimals, count the
number of places in the divisor to the right
of the decimal point and move the decimal to
the right that number of places to make the
divisor a whole number.
If the dividend already contains a decimal,
move the decimal to the right the same number
of places as moved in the divisor (adding
zeros if necessary).
Then, place a decimal point in the quotient
immediately above the new decimal place in the
dividend.

Before dividing, you must make the divisor a
whole number by moving the decimal point as
far to the right as is needed; also, you must
move the decimal point in the dividend the
same number of digits to the right as was done
in
the
divisor.
Following
the
above
instructions, the above problem would be as
follows:
