In this section, we explore the division of decimals along with key statistical measures such as average, median, and mode. Learn how to divide decimals by whole numbers and other decimals effectively by adjusting decimal points as necessary. Additionally, understand how to calculate the average by summing values and dividing by the count, find the median by organizing numbers, and determine the mode by identifying the most frequently occurring number in a set. Master these essential skills for a solid foundation in working with decimals and basic statistics.

Dividing Decimals; Average, Median, and Mode Section 4.6
Objectives • Divide decimals • Find the average, median, and mode of a set of decimals
Objective 1 • Decimal divided by a whole number • Decimal divided by a decimal
Objective 1 • To divide two numbers • If the divisor is not a whole number, move the decimal point in both the divisor and dividend to the right as many places as needed to make divisor a whole number • Place decimal point in quotient above decimal point in dividend • Divide as if whole numbers • Round to given place value if directed to
Objective 2:Find the average, median, or mode of a set of decimals
Objective 2 • To find the average • Add the numbers • Divide the sum by the number of numbers in the set • To find the median • List the numbers in order from smallest to largest • If there is an odd number of numbers in the set, median is middle number • If there is an even number of numbers, the median is the average of the two middle numbers • To find the mode • Find the number or numbers that occur the most • If all numbers occur the same amount, there is no mode
