Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Find the quotient: This problem has a division problem that involves dividing a whole number by a decimal. The student is to find the answer and write it in the space provided.Dividing decimals- hundredths.PNG

Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy badges with the standard algorithm. The speed badges are medium because the algorithm can be time-consuming.
 * 1) A calculator goes against the spirit of the problem but can increase speed.
 * 2) The standard algorithm is not very time-efficient so you might need to develop a new method to get speed badges.
 * 3) Most of the time the final answer is an integer, but in a few problems you can get a final answer that is a terminating decimal. Research indicates no answers that don't terminate in decimal form.

Real-life Applications

 * 1) Decimals appear in every-day media to display information to consumers.
