    12/0.3


    12 is the dividend


    0.3 is the divisor


    The divisor must be a whole number. Move the decimal point to the right one (1) place. Now, the dividend 12,  is 12. Add a zero (0) so it says 12.0  (you add one zero because there is only one number after the decimal point in the divisor) then move the decimal point over one place like you did in the divisor. Now, the problem says:


    120/3 = 40
