0.2 ÷ 0.04 <- easiest way to approach is to move the decimal to the right (the same amount of spaces on each side) so that the decimal disappears
since 0.04 has 2 spaces and 0.2 only has 1, move the decimal 2 spaces to the right on each side
0.2 ÷ 0.04 = 20 ÷ 4 = 5

Remeber for this problem that you cannot spend more than $50. First find the price of each pencil by 5.80/20 = 29 cents. And then use this to do 50/0.29 = 172.41. So the greatest number of pencils you can purchase for $50 is 172 pencils.
