Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 5 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Divide. Put the decimal point in the quotient right above the decimal point in the dividend.
How to solve
Divide as with whole numbers, but first put a decimal point in the quotient directly above the one in the dividend. 8.46 ÷ 3: 8 ÷ 3 = 2 r 2, bring down 4 → 24 ÷ 3 = 8, bring down 6 → 6 ÷ 3 = 2, so 2.82. If there is still a remainder at the end, write a 0 at the end of the dividend (3.4 = 3.40) and keep dividing: 3.4 ÷ 4 = 0.85. Check by multiplying: 0.85 × 4 = 3.4.
