Put a 0 after the 9 and write this:
6)3.90
Put a decimal above the decimal in 3.90
.
6)3.90
6 goes into 3 zero times, so we write a zero before the
decimal.
0.
6)3.90
6 goes into 39 six times, so we write 6 after
the decimal
0.6
6)3.90
Multiply the 6 on top times the 6 at the left,
get 36, so wrote 36 underneath the 39.
0.65
6)3.90
3 6
Draw a line under the 36
0.65
6)3.90
3 6
Subtract 39 minus 36 which is 3, so write
3 underneath the line
0.65
6)3.90
3 6
3
Bring down the 0 on the end on 3.90, and
put it beside the 3 at the bottom:
0.65
6)3.90
3 6
30
6 goes into 30 five times so we write 5 at the
top beside the 6
0.65
6)3.90
3 6
30
We multiply 5 times 6 and write 30 underneath the
30 at the bottom:
0.65
6)3.90
3 6
30
30
We draw a line underneath that 30:
0.65
6)3.90
3 6
30
30
We subtract 30 minus 30 and get 0, and
write that at the bottom:
0.65
6)3.90
3 6
30
30
0
Since the remainder is 0 we are done, and
the quotient is the 0.65 at the top.
