Write a word problem that involves dividing by a decimal.

A 16-piece package of gum costs $0.96. How much does each piece of gum cost?

To find out how much each piece of gum costs, we need to divide the cost of the package of gum which is $0.96 by the number of pieces of gum in the package which is 16.

So we have 16 divided into 0.96.

Steps for division

16 divides into 96 6 times so we write the 6 above the 6. 6 × 16 is 96 and 96 - 96 is 0. Finally, we bring the decimal point up to the same position in our answer and use zeroes to fill the missing positions. So we have 0.06 which means that each piece of gum costs $0.06.
