    Dividing decimals
    Could someone tell me how to divide this problem Joey has 0.6 as many teeth as jane. Jane has 32 teeth. How many does joey have, I came up with 53 but it doesn't seem right. Do I divide 0.06 by 32?:confused:

    KISS

    Hint 0.6 is 60%. 60% is less than 100%. Want to try the problem again?

    Let me give you a similar problem.

    I have 10 apples, and you have 2 times as many as me.

    That means, you have (10 x 2) = 20 apples.
