Place the decimal point correctly in a multiplication problem with decimals. Count decimal places in the factors to decide how many decimal places the product should have. Multiply the numbers as whole numbers first, then put the decimal back in the right spot.

Multiply two decimal numbers to find the product. Place the decimal point correctly in the answer. Use place value to understand how multiplying by tenths and hundredths changes a number. Multiply decimals by multiplying as whole numbers first, then adjusting for the decimal places.

Multiply decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by moving the decimal point the right number of places. Divide decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by moving the decimal point the right number of places. Use exponents like 10^2 and 10^3 to recognize how many places to shift the decimal. Write answers with the decimal point and any needed zeros in the correct place.

Multiply decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by shifting the decimal point the right way. Divide decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by shifting the decimal point the right way. Spot patterns in how the digits and decimal point change when you multiply or divide by powers of 10.

Practice rounding decimals to make easier numbers to multiply in your head. Estimate the product of a decimal and a whole number using friendly numbers. Estimate the product of two decimals by rounding to tenths or whole numbers.
5nbt7
Multiply decimals using the regular multiplication steps you use for whole numbers. Place the decimal point in the product by counting decimal places in the factors. Keep digits lined up correctly in vertical (column) multiplication. Handle carrying when multiplying multi-digit numbers that include decimals.

Move the decimal point to turn the divisor into a whole number before dividing. Use long division to place the decimal point correctly in the quotient. Keep dividing past the decimal to get an exact answer or a decimal answer.

Divide decimals by decimals using the partial quotients (chunking) method. Break a division problem into easier steps by subtracting groups of the divisor and keeping a running total of the quotient. Place the decimal correctly in the quotient based on the values in the dividend and divisor. Multiply to find helpful chunks of the divisor (like 10× or 0.1×) that fit into the dividend.

Multiply two decimals to find the product. Use an area model (grid) to show what a decimal multiplication problem means.

Multiply decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by shifting the digits to the left. Divide decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by shifting the digits to the right. Read a word problem and decide whether it needs multiplying or dividing by a power of ten.

Add decimals correctly by lining up the decimal points. Subtract decimals and handle borrowing when needed. Multiply decimals and place the decimal in the product. Divide decimals and write the quotient with the decimal in the right spot. Read and write decimals in tenths, hundredths, and thousandths to keep place value straight.
5nbt7
Solve word problems by multiplying decimals to find a total, cost, or amount. Translate a real-life situation into a multiplication equation with decimals. Multiply decimals accurately and place the decimal point correctly in the product.

Divide one whole number by another and write the answer as a decimal. Use long division to keep dividing past the ones place when the division doesn’t come out evenly. Place the decimal point in the quotient correctly when you bring down zeros. Handle remainders by turning them into decimal digits.
