Decimal Divisors

Mr. Martin is shingling the roof of a house that is 8.26 m wide, using shingles that each measure 0.2 m. The problem requires us to determine how many shingles can be placed in each row. Important facts include the width of the roof and the shingles, and the operation suggested is division. To solve, we must understand how to divide decimals. This involves adjusting the decimal points in both the divisor and dividend to convert to whole numbers and then performing the division.
