How do you divide decimals? ex: 3.6÷0.5 plz

here's the way that i learned it:

convert them to mixed fractions and then go from there.

3.6 = 36/10 0.5 = 1/2

right now our problem looks like this: 36/10 ÷ 1/2 =

okay, so i learned the method keep it, switch it, flip it.

keep the first fraction in the equation, 36/10

switch the division sign to multiplication ÷ ⇒ ×

switch the numbers on the second fraction  1/2 ⇒ 2/1

okay, so our equation looks like this now:

36/10 x 2/1

okay, so now multiply across. (multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together)

72/10

latly, we need to convert back to a decimal. divide the top number by the bottom one.

to do this, divide the top number by the bottom number

72/10

7.2

i hope this was helpful. this is how i learned dividing with decimals, so it might be kinda complicated. if you still need help, let me know :)
