Kenji wants to divide 48.6 by 0.15. What is the first step that Kenji must complete?

To divide by a decimal, make the divisor a whole number by moving its decimal point to the right. Since 0.15 has two decimal places, multiply both the divisor and the dividend by 100: 48.6 ÷ 0.15 becomes 4,860 ÷ 15. So the first step is to multiply the divisor and dividend by 100.
