The correct response is: the dividend and the divisor.
To divide multi-digit decimals, it is important to keep the decimal point in both the divisor and the dividend. The number of decimal places in the quotient should be equal to the sum of the decimal places in the dividend and the divisor.
Here's how to divide multi-digit decimals:
1. Set up the division problem with the dividend (the number being divided) on the inside and the divisor (the number dividing the dividend) on the outside of the long division symbol.
2. If the decimal point is not already present in both the dividend and the divisor, ensure that it is properly positioned.
3. Divide as you would with whole numbers, ignoring the decimal point for now.
4. Once the division is complete, locate the decimal point in the quotient by counting the total number of decimal places in both the dividend and the divisor.
5. Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
Remember to always keep the decimal point in both the dividend and the divisor to accurately divide multi-digit decimals.
