1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,490 2 00:00:00,490 --> 00:00:07,760 We need to divide 0.25 into 1.03075. 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,260 Now the first thing you want to do when your divisor, the 4 00:00:11,260 --> 00:00:13,690 number that you're dividing into the other number, is a 5 00:00:13,690 --> 00:00:17,850 decimal, is to multiply it by 10 enough times so that it 6 00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:19,990 becomes a whole number so you can shift the 7 00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:21,220 decimal to the right. 8 00:00:21,220 --> 00:00:23,620 So every time you multiply something by 10, you're 9 00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:26,170 shifting the decimal over to the right once. 10 00:00:26,170 --> 00:00:27,620 So in this case, we want to switch it over the 11 00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:29,310 right once and twice. 12 00:00:29,310 --> 00:00:34,690 So 0.25 times 10 twice is the same thing as 0.25 times 100, 13 00:00:34,690 --> 00:00:38,190 and we'll turn the 0.25 into 25. 14 00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:41,250 Now if you do that with the divisor, you also have to do 15 00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:42,860 that with the dividend, the number that 16 00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:43,920 you're dividing into. 17 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,220 So we also have to multiply this by 10 twice, or another 18 00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:49,190 way of doing it is shift the decimal over 19 00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:50,560 to the right twice. 20 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,680 So we shift it over once, twice. 21 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,440 It will sit right over here. 22 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,180 And to see why that makes sense, you just have to 23 00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:00,700 realize that this expression right here, this division 24 00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:14,840 problem, is the exact same thing as having 1.03075 25 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:21,310 divided by 0.25. 26 00:01:21,310 --> 00:01:25,650 And so we're multiplying the 0.25 by 10 twice. 27 00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:28,590 We're essentially multiplying it by 100. 28 00:01:28,590 --> 00:01:30,960 Let me do that in a different color. 29 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,750 We're multiplying it by 100 in the denominator. 30 00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:35,760 This is the divisor. 31 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,670 We're multiplying it by 100, so we also have to do the same 32 00:01:38,670 --> 00:01:41,040 thing to the numerator, if we don't want to change this 33 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,720 expression, if we don't want to change the number. 34 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,400 So we also have to multiply that by 100. 35 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,050 And when you do that, this becomes 25, and 36 00:01:48,050 --> 00:01:52,200 this becomes 103.075. 37 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,400 Now let me just rewrite this. 38 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,520 Sometimes if you're doing this in a workbook or something, 39 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,240 you don't have to rewrite it as long as you remember where 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:57,910 the decimal is. 41 00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:59,340 But I'm going to rewrite it, just so it's 42 00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:00,480 a little bit neater. 43 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,330 So we multiplied both the divisor and 44 00:02:03,330 --> 00:02:05,040 the dividend by 100. 45 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:17,590 This problem becomes 25 divided into 103.075. 46 00:02:17,590 --> 00:02:20,130 These are going to result in the exact same quotient. 47 00:02:20,130 --> 00:02:22,160 They're the exact same fraction, if you want to view 48 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:22,580 it that way. 49 00:02:22,580 --> 00:02:26,430 We've just multiplied both the numerator and the denominator 50 00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:29,720 by 100 to shift the decimal over to the right twice. 51 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Now that we've done that, we're ready to divide. 52 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,520 So the first thing, we have 25 here, and there's always a 53 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,160 little bit of an art to dividing something by a 54 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,660 multiple-digit number, so we'll see how well we can do. 55 00:02:41,660 --> 00:02:43,810 So 25 does not go into 1. 56 00:02:43,810 --> 00:02:45,750 25 does not go into 10. 57 00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:48,410 25 does go into 103. 58 00:02:48,410 --> 00:02:51,400 We know that 4 times 25 is 100, so 25 goes 59 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,880 into 100 four times. 60 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,540 4 times 5 is 20. 61 00:02:56,540 --> 00:02:59,840 4 times 2 is 8, plus 2 is 100. 62 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:00,990 We knew that. 63 00:03:00,990 --> 00:03:02,600 Four quarters is $1.00. 64 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,130 It's 100 cents. 65 00:03:04,130 --> 00:03:05,590 And now we subtract. 66 00:03:05,590 --> 00:03:11,920 103 minus 100 is going to be 3, and now we can 67 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:14,100 bring down this 0. 68 00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:16,640 So we bring down that 0 there. 69 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:20,710 25 goes into 30 one time. 70 00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:22,210 And if we want, we could immediately put 71 00:03:22,210 --> 00:03:23,070 this decimal here. 72 00:03:23,070 --> 00:03:25,400 We don't have to wait until the end of the problem. 73 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,930 This decimal sits right in that place, so we could always 74 00:03:27,930 --> 00:03:30,730 have that decimal sitting right there in our quotient or 75 00:03:30,730 --> 00:03:31,980 in our answer. 76 00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:34,010 77 00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:36,690 So we were at 25 goes into 30 one time. 78 00:03:36,690 --> 00:03:43,970 1 times 25 is 25, and then we can subtract. 79 00:03:43,970 --> 00:03:46,550 30 minus 25, well, that's just 5. 80 00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:48,510 I mean, we can do all this borrowing business, or 81 00:03:48,510 --> 00:03:49,140 regrouping. 82 00:03:49,140 --> 00:03:50,410 This can become a 10. 83 00:03:50,410 --> 00:03:51,570 This becomes a 2. 84 00:03:51,570 --> 00:03:53,350 10 minus 5 is 5. 85 00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:55,200 2 minus 2 is nothing. 86 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,250 But anyway, 30 minus 25 is 5. 87 00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:02,860 Now we can bring down this 7. 88 00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:06,270 25 goes into 57 two times, right? 89 00:04:06,270 --> 00:04:08,780 25 times 2 is 50. 90 00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:11,940 25 goes into 57 two times. 91 00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:15,130 2 times 25 is 50. 92 00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:16,940 And now we subtract again. 93 00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:19,950 57 minus 50 is 7. 94 00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:21,760 And now we're almost done. 95 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,360 96 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,280 We bring down that 5 right over there. 97 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:34,150 25 goes into 75 three times. 98 00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:36,610 3 times 25 is 75. 99 00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:39,390 3 times 5 is 15. 100 00:04:39,390 --> 00:04:40,240 Regroup the 1. 101 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:40,980 We can ignore that. 102 00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:41,920 That was from before. 103 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,960 3 times 2 is 6, plus 1 is 7. 104 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,260 So you can see that. 105 00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:51,540 And then we subtract, and then we have no remainder. 106 00:04:51,540 --> 00:04:59,110 So 25 goes into 103.075 exactly 4.123 times, which 107 00:04:59,110 --> 00:05:02,100 makes sense, because 25 goes into 100 about four times. 108 00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:04,080 This is a little bit larger than 100, so it's going to be 109 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,740 a little bit more than four times. 110 00:05:05,740 --> 00:05:07,920 And that's going to be the exact same answer as the 111 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:16,600 number of times that 0.25 goes into 1.03075. 112 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,520 This will also be 4.123. 113 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,580 So this fraction, or this expression, is the exact same 114 00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:29,730 thing as 4.123. 115 00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:31,340 And we're done! 116 00:05:31,340 --> 00:05:31,399
