Its 60

Which number goes where?
__________
/

divided-by number = divisor

60 = dividend

60 goes inside the bar thing and you can't divide decimals so u would to the Texas two step and then 6o would be in the box and outside the box would be 012

So then what would you do with the decimal in the divisor before you can divide?

Move it over 2 times to the right

And then what happens with the dividend under the hood? What number do you end up with?
