To solve a decimal divided by-a decimal, we need to change them into a whole number by multiply the denominator and numerator with 1, 100 or 100 to shift the decimal place.

First, we can write the equation in fraction

In the above equation we multiply both the denominator and numerator with 100 to make it a whole number, we can't multiply the denominator with 100 and the numerator with 10. It should be the same number.

So with the blueberries they have collected, they can make 14 muffins.
