The dromedary, or one-humped camel, was described by Linnaeus in 1758. There are no true wild dromedaries in the world today-they were domesticated between 4,000 and 2,000 B.C.E. for travel, meat and milk, and running, and became extinct in the wild around 2000 years ago.
Dividends and divisors are the two key ingredients that yield the quotient, or answer, to a division problem. The dividend is the number being divided, while the divisor is the number by which the dividend is divided. In other words, given aÃ·b, a is the dividend and b is the divisor.
When dividing by a decimal divisor, we use the following procedure: 1  Multiply the divisor by a power of 10 to make it a whole number. 2  Multiply the dividend by the same power of 10. 3  Place the decimal point in the quotient.fter dividing, we will round the quotient to the nearest cent (hundredth). Multiply the divisor by a power of 10 to make it a whole number. Multiply the dividend by the same power of 10. Place the decimal point in the quotient. Divide the dividend by the whole-number divisor to find the quotient.
