Let's solve each of the division problems on this worksheet step by step. The key idea when dividing decimals is to eliminate the decimal in the divisor by multiplying both the dividend and divisor by the same power of 10, so that the divisor becomes a whole number.

---

Problem 1: 10.42 ÷ 0.2



Multiply both numbers by 10 to eliminate the decimal:
- 10.42 × 10 = 104.2
- 0.2 × 10 = 2

Now divide:
104.2 ÷ 2 = 52.1

Answer: 52.1

---

Problem 2: 12.24 ÷ 0.04



Multiply both by 100:
- 12.24 × 100 = 1224
- 0.04 × 100 = 4

Now divide:
1224 ÷ 4 = 306

Answer: 306

---

Problem 3: 11.22 ÷ 1.1



Multiply both by 10:
- 11.22 × 10 = 112.2
- 1.1 × 10 = 11

Now divide:
112.2 ÷ 11 = ?

Do long division:
- 11 into 112 → 10 times (11×10=110), remainder 2
- Bring down 2 → 22
- 11 into 22 → 2 times
- So far: 10.2
- Now bring down .2 → 2.2
- 11 into 2.2 → 0.2 times (since 11×0.2=2.2)

So: 112.2 ÷ 11 = 10.2

Answer: 10.2

---

Problem 4: 22.42 ÷ 0.2



Multiply both by 10:
- 22.42 × 10 = 224.2
- 0.2 × 10 = 2

Now divide:
224.2 ÷ 2 = 112.1

Answer: 112.1

---

Problem 5: 30.24 ÷ 0.3



Multiply both by 10:
- 30.24 × 10 = 302.4
- 0.3 × 10 = 3

Now divide:
302.4 ÷ 3 = ?

3 into 302.4:
- 3 × 100 = 300 → remainder 2.4
- 3 into 2.4 = 0.8
- So total: 100 + 0.8 = 100.8

Answer: 100.8

---

Problem 6: 18.24 ÷ 0.6



Multiply both by 10:
- 18.24 × 10 = 182.4
- 0.6 × 10 = 6

Now divide:
182.4 ÷ 6 = ?

6 into 182.4:
- 6 × 30 = 180 → remainder 2.4
- 6 into 2.4 = 0.4
- So: 30 + 0.4 = 30.4

Answer: 30.4

---

Problem 7: 42.24 ÷ 0.03



Multiply both by 100:
- 42.24 × 100 = 4224
- 0.03 × 100 = 3

Now divide:
4224 ÷ 3 = ?

3 into 4224:
- 3 × 1400 = 4200 → remainder 24
- 3 × 8 = 24
- Total: 1400 + 8 = 1408

Answer: 1408

---

Problem 8: 1.82 ÷ 0.02



Multiply both by 100:
- 1.82 × 100 = 182
- 0.02 × 100 = 2

Now divide:
182 ÷ 2 = 91

Answer: 91

---

Problem 9: 9.96 ÷ 0.3



Multiply both by 10:
- 9.96 × 10 = 99.6
- 0.3 × 10 = 3

Now divide:
99.6 ÷ 3 = ?

3 into 99.6:
- 3 × 33 = 99 → remainder 0.6
- 3 × 0.2 = 0.6
- So: 33 + 0.2 = 33.2

Answer: 33.2

---

Problem 10: 12.12 ÷ 0.6



Multiply both by 10:
- 12.12 × 10 = 121.2
- 0.6 × 10 = 6

Now divide:
121.2 ÷ 6 = ?

6 into 121.2:
- 6 × 20 = 120 → remainder 1.2
- 6 × 0.2 = 1.2
- So: 20 + 0.2 = 20.2

Answer: 20.2

---

Problem 11: 16.4 ÷ 0.08



Multiply both by 100:
- 16.4 × 100 = 1640
- 0.08 × 100 = 8

Now divide:
1640 ÷ 8 = ?

8 × 200 = 1600 → remainder 40
8 × 5 = 40 → total: 200 + 5 = 205

Answer: 205

---

Problem 12: 3.24 ÷ 0.4



Multiply both by 10:
- 3.24 × 10 = 32.4
- 0.4 × 10 = 4

Now divide:
32.4 ÷ 4 = ?

4 × 8 = 32 → remainder 0.4
4 × 0.1 = 0.4 → total: 8 + 0.1 = 8.1

Answer: 8.1

---

Problem 13: 62.12 ÷ 0.02



Multiply both by 100:
- 62.12 × 100 = 6212
- 0.02 × 100 = 2

Now divide:
6212 ÷ 2 = 3106

Answer: 3106

---

Problem 14: 0.24 ÷ 0.6



Multiply both by 10:
- 0.24 × 10 = 2.4
- 0.6 × 10 = 6

Now divide:
2.4 ÷ 6 = ?

6 goes into 2.4 → 0.4 times (because 6 × 0.4 = 2.4)

Answer: 0.4
