so that the division
    is in place. Note that this is only called with `a` an inexact type.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : {ndarray, numpy scalar}
        Numerator. Expected to be of inexact type but not checked.
    b : {ndarray, numpy scalar}
        Denominator.
    out : ndarray, optional
        Alternate output array in which to place the result.  The default
        is ``None``; if provided, it must have the same shape as the
        expected output, but the type will be cast if necessary.

    Returns
    -------
    ret : {ndarray, numpy scalar}
        The return value is a/b. If `a` was an ndarray the division is done
        in place. If `a` is a numpy scalar, the division preserves its type.
