Of course! To divide decimal numbers, follow these steps:
1. Set up the division problem as you would with whole numbers, with the dividend (the number being divided) on top and the divisor (the number doing the dividing) on the bottom.
For example, if you want to divide 71.24 by 0.4, it would be set up like this:
71.24
_______________
0.4
2. Now, move the decimal point in the divisor (0.4) all the way to the right until it becomes a whole number.
In this case, moving the decimal point in 0.4 to the right results in 4.
71.24
_______________
4
3. Then move the decimal point in the dividend (71.24) the same number of places to the right as in step 2.
Since the decimal point was moved one place in step 2, move the decimal point in 71.24 one place to the right, resulting in 712.4.
712.4
_______________
4
4. Now, perform the division as you would with whole numbers. Divide the new dividend (712.4) by the divisor (4).
The quotient is 178.
712.4
_______________

- 4
__________

- 0
__________

- 8
__________
20
- 20
__________

So, the quotient of −71.24 ÷ 0.4 is -178.
