In this Grade 5 Eureka Math lesson, students learn to divide decimal dividends by non-unit decimal divisors, such as 2.4 ÷ 0.2 or 2.4 ÷ 0.4, by rewriting division expressions as fractions and multiplying by a form of 1 to eliminate decimal denominators. The lesson builds on students' understanding that multiplying or dividing both the dividend and divisor by the same factor preserves the quotient. This is Lesson 6 of Chapter 25, Division of Fractions and Decimal Fractions, in the Grade 5 Eureka Math curriculum.
