Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re dividing tenths (decimals with one digit after the decimal point) by 1-digit whole numbers.

We’ll go column by column, left to right, top to bottom.

---

Left Column:

1. 18.1 ÷ 6
Think: 6 × 3 = 18 → so 18.1 ÷ 6 is a little more than 3.
6 × 3.0 = 18.0 → remainder 0.1
0.1 ÷ 6 = 0.0166… → but since we’re working with tenths, let’s do it properly:
Actually, better to think in terms of long division or convert to fractions.

Alternatively:
18.1 ÷ 6 = ?
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10 to eliminate decimal:
181 ÷ 60 = ?

But maybe easier to just divide directly:

6 into 18.1:
6 goes into 18 three times → 3.
Bring down .1 → now we have 0.1 left.
6 goes into 0.1 zero times → add decimal point → 3.0
Then 6 into 10 (after adding zero) → 1 time → 0.01? Wait — let's do this carefully.

Actually, let’s use calculator-style thinking for accuracy:

18.1 ÷ 6 = 3.01666... → but that’s not nice. Let me check if I made a mistake.

Wait — perhaps these are designed to give clean answers? Let’s try again.

Maybe I should treat them as decimals and divide normally.

Let’s do 18.1 ÷ 6:

6 × 3 = 18 → subtract → 0.1 left
Add a zero → 1.0
6 goes into 10 once → 0.1 → so 3.0 + 0.01? No.

Actually:
After 3., we have 0.1 → which is 1 tenth.
To divide 1 tenth by 6, we get 1/60 ≈ 0.0167 → so total ≈ 3.0167

But that seems messy. Let me check other problems — maybe they expect exact decimals?

Try 58.9 ÷ 9:

9 × 6 = 54 → 58.9 - 54 = 4.9
9 × 0.5 = 4.5 → 4.9 - 4.5 = 0.4
So 6.5 + 0.4/9 ≈ 6.544...

Hmm — still messy.

Wait — perhaps I’m overcomplicating. Let me actually compute each one accurately using standard division.

Let’s list all and calculate precisely.

---

Actually, let’s do each one with care:

Left Column:



1. 18.1 6
6 × 3 = 18 → remainder 0.1
0.1 ÷ 6 = 1/60 ≈ 0.016666...
So 3 + 0.016666... = 3.016666... → but maybe round to 2 decimals? The problem doesn’t specify.

But looking at the worksheet title “Divide Tenths by 1-Digit Numbers” — likely expects decimal answers, possibly repeating or rounded.

However, let’s check if any are exact.

Try 44.0 ÷ 4 = 11.0 → exact.

28.0 ÷ 8 = 3.5 → exact.

72.2 ÷ 2 = 36.1 → exact.

93.5 ÷ 5 = 18.7 → because 5×18=90, 5×0.7=3.5 → 93.5 → yes!

So some are exact.

Let’s recalculate 18.1 ÷ 6:

6 × 3.01666... = 18.1?
6 × 3 = 18
6 × 0.01666... = 0.1 → yes, because 0.01666... × 6 = 0.1

So 18.1 ÷ 6 = 3.01666... = 3.01̅6̅? Or write as fraction?

But for school level, probably expect decimal rounded to 2 places? Or leave as is?

Looking at the problems, many will be terminating decimals.

Let me do all systematically.

---

Better approach: Convert each dividend to tenths (multiply by 10), divide by divisor, then divide result by 10.

Example: 18.1 ÷ 6 = (181 ÷ 10) ÷ 6 = 181 ÷ (10×6) = 181 60

Now divide 181 by 60:

60 × 3 = 180 → remainder 1 → so 3 + 1/60 = 3.01666...

Same as before.

But perhaps the worksheet expects us to write the decimal answer as is, even if repeating.

However, let’s look at another: 4.6 ÷ 5

4.6 ÷ 5 = 46/10 ÷ 5 = 46/(10×5) = 46/50 = 23/25 = 0.92 → exact!

Ah! So some are exact.

Let’s do each one properly.

I’ll compute each division accurately.

---

Left Column:

1. 18.1 ÷ 6
18.1 ÷ 6 = 3.01666... → but let's write as decimal: 3.01666... = 3.01̅6̅?
Actually, 1/60 = 0.01666..., so 3 + 1/60 = 181/60 = 3.01666...

But perhaps for this level, they want it rounded to two decimal places? The problem doesn't say.

Looking at the other problems, like 4.6 ÷ 5 = 0.92 exactly, so maybe we should give exact values where possible.

Let me calculate all with precision.

I'll use long division mentally.

18.1 ÷ 6:
6 into 18 = 3, write 3.
Decimal point.
6 into 1 (from 0.1) can't, so 0, bring down 0 → 10.
6 into 10 = 1, write 1 → so far 3.01
Remainder 4, bring down 0 → 40
6 into 40 = 6, 6*6=36, remainder 4 → so it repeats: 3.01666...

So 3.01666... or 3.01̅6̅

But for homework, perhaps write as 3.02 if rounding? But let's see what others are.

I think for consistency, I'll provide the exact decimal representation, and if repeating, note it, but since the instruction is to solve accurately, I'll give the precise value.

However, looking at the context, this is likely for elementary/middle school, and they might expect the answer as a decimal, possibly rounded to two places, but the problem doesn't specify.

Let's check a few more.

2. 58.9 ÷ 9
9 × 6 = 54, subtract from 58.9 → 4.9
9 × 0.5 = 4.5, subtract → 0.4
9 × 0.04 = 0.36, subtract → 0.04
9 × 0.004 = 0.036, etc. → so 6.5444... = 6.54̅

Again repeating.

3. 93.5 5
5 × 18 = 90, 93.5 - 90 = 3.5, 5 × 0.7 = 3.5, so 18.7 → exact! Good.

4. 72.2 ÷ 2 = 36.1 → exact.

5. 44.0 ÷ 4 = 11.0 → exact.

6. 28.0 ÷ 8 = 3.5 → exact.

7. 4.1 ÷ 7
7 × 0.5 = 3.5, 4.1 - 3.5 = 0.6
7 × 0.08 = 0.56, 0.6 - 0.56 = 0.04
7 × 0.005 = 0.035, etc. → approximately 0.5857... but let's calculate:
4.1 ÷ 7 = 41/70 = 0.5857142857... repeating every 6 digits? 41÷70.

70 into 410 (add decimal) → 5*70=350, remainder 60
600 70 = 8*70=560, rem 40
400 ÷ 70 = 5*70=350, rem 50
500 ÷ 70 = 7*70=490, rem 10
100 ÷ 70 = 1*70=70, rem 30
300 ÷ 70 = 4*70=280, rem 20
200 ÷ 70 = 2*70=140, rem 60 → now repeats from earlier.

So 0.585714285714... = 0.585714̅

This is getting complicated. Perhaps the worksheet has typos or I'm missing something.

Another idea: maybe "tenths" means the number is given to one decimal place, and we divide, and the answer may have more decimals, but we should report it as is.

But for the sake of this task, since the user wants accurate solutions, I'll compute each one to sufficient decimal places or as fractions if needed, but probably decimals are expected.

Let's look at the right column; maybe they are nicer.

Right Column:

8. 4.6 ÷ 5 = 0.92 → exact, as 46/50 = 23/25 = 0.92

9. 1.9 ÷ 2 = 0.95 → exact

10. 0.1 8 = 0.0125 → exact? 1/80 = 0.0125 yes

11. 0.5 ÷ 2 = 0.25 → exact

12. 0.6 ÷ 7 = 6/70 = 3/35 ≈ 0.0857142857... repeating

13. 8.7 3 = 2.9 → because 3*2.9 = 8.7 → exact!

14. 5.6 ÷ 2 = 2.8 → exact

15. 6.3 ÷ 9 = 0.7 → because 9*0.7 = 6.3 → exact

Oh! So many are exact. Let's revisit the left column with this insight.

For 18.1 ÷ 6: is there a way it's exact? 18.1 / 6 = 181/60, which is not integer, so not exact decimal.

But perhaps in the context, we should provide the decimal answer as calculated.

Maybe the student is expected to use long division and write the quotient.

To resolve this, I'll calculate each one accurately and provide the decimal answer, and if it's repeating, I'll indicate it, but for simplicity, since most are terminating, I'll assume that for non-terminating, we can round to 3 decimal places or something, but the problem doesn't specify.

Looking back at the worksheet, it says "Divide to find the answer." no specification on rounding.

In such cases, for math worksheets, if it's not exact, they might expect the full decimal or fraction, but here since it's "tenths", likely decimal answers are fine.

Perhaps I can provide the exact value as a decimal, and for repeating ones, write the repeating part.

But for the final answer, I need to box them.

Another thought: perhaps "divide tenths" means the dividend is a multiple of 0.1, and we divide by integer, and the answer may have up to 2 or 3 decimals.

Let's list all answers with their exact values or rounded reasonably.

I recall that in some curricula, they teach to continue division until you get a remainder of 0 or recognize a repeat.

For efficiency, I'll compute each one:

Let me make a table.

Left Column:

1. 18.1 ÷ 6 = 3.01666... = 3.01̅6̅ (since 1/60 = 0.01666...)

But to write it nicely, perhaps 3.017 if rounded to 3 decimals, but let's see.

I think for accuracy, I'll provide the fractional form or the decimal as is.

Perhaps the intended answers are:

Let's calculate numerically:

1. 18.1 / 6 = 3.0166666667

2. 58.9 / 9 = 6.5444444444

3. 93.5 / 5 = 18.7

4. 72.2 / 2 = 36.1

5. 44.0 / 4 = 11.0

6. 28.0 / 8 = 3.5

7. 4.1 / 7 = 0.5857142857

8. 4.7 / 8 = 0.5875 (let's calculate: 4.7 ÷ 8 = 47/80 = 0.5875)

Right Column:

9. 4.6 / 5 = 0.92

10. 1.9 / 2 = 0.95

11. 0.1 / 8 = 0.0125

12. 0.5 / 2 = 0.25

13. 0.6 / 7 = 0.0857142857

14. 8.7 / 3 = 2.9

15. 5.6 / 2 = 2.8

16. 6.3 / 9 = 0.7

Now, for the repeating decimals, in a school setting, they might expect to write the first few digits or recognize the repeat.

But to be precise, I'll provide the exact decimal representation where possible, and for repeating, I'll use bar notation or state it.

Since the final answer section requires only the final correct answer, and it's a list, I'll provide the answers as decimals, and for repeating, I'll write them with ellipsis or bar, but in text, perhaps just the value.

Perhaps for this platform, I can write the answers as calculated.

Let's decide to provide the answers rounded to 3 decimal places for consistency, except when exact.

But 0.1/8 = 0.0125 is exact to 4 decimals.

This is messy.

Another idea: perhaps "tenths" implies that the answer should be in tenths or something, but no.

Let's look for patterns or if I misread.

Notice that in the left column, 44.0, 28.0 are written with .0, so perhaps they are integers, but still.

I think I should just calculate each one accurately and present the answer as a decimal, and if it's repeating, note it, but for the final answer, since it's a list, I'll write the numerical value.

Perhaps the worksheet expects the following answers:

Let me search online or recall standard problems, but I can't.

I'll proceed to calculate each one with long division in my mind and give the quotient.

For 18.1 ÷ 6:

- 6 * 3 = 18, remainder 0.1
- 0.1 / 6 = 1/60 = 0.01666... so 3.01666...

Similarly, for 58.9 ÷ 9:

- 9 * 6 = 54, remainder 4.9
- 4.9 / 9 = 49/90 = 0.5444... so 6.5444...

For 4.1 ÷ 7:

- 7 * 0.5 = 3.5, remainder 0.6
- 0.6 / 7 = 6/70 = 3/35 = 0.0857142857... so 0.5857142857...

For 0.6 ÷ 7 = 6/70 = 3/35 = 0.0857142857...

So for the final answer, I'll list them as:

Left column:
1. 3.01666... or 3.017 (rounded)
But to be accurate, let's use fractions or exact decimals.

Perhaps the best way is to provide the answer as a decimal with sufficient digits.

Since the problem is "solve the problem accurately", I'll provide the exact value.

For example, 18.1 ÷ 6 = 181/60 = 3 1/60, but that's not decimal.

I think for this context, decimal answers are expected, and for repeating decimals, we can write them with a bar or just the first few digits.

But to match the format, I'll provide the answers as follows, assuming that for non-terminating, we round to 3 decimal places, as it's common in such worksheets.

Let's check the number of decimal places in dividends: all have one decimal place, divisors are integers, so quotients may have up to 3 or 4 decimals.

For instance, 0.1 ÷ 8 = 0.0125, which is 4 decimals.

So perhaps no rounding.

I recall that in SplashLearn worksheets, they often have exact answers or nice decimals.

Let's double-check 18.1 6: is 18.1 correct? Perhaps it's 18.0, but no, it's 18.1.

Another thought: perhaps "divide tenths" means to interpret the number as tenths, so 18.1 is 181 tenths, divided by 6, so 181/6 = 30.1666... tenths, which is 3.01666... same thing.

I think I have to accept that some are repeating.

For the sake of completing the task, I'll provide the answers as calculated, and for repeating decimals, I'll write them with the repeating part indicated, but in text, I'll use "..." or specify.

But for the final answer section, it should be clean.

Perhaps the intended answers are:

Let's calculate each one quickly:

1. 18.1 ÷ 6 = 3.01666... -> let's say 3.017 if rounded, but I'll keep as 3.0167 for 4 decimals.

I found a better way: use calculator in mind.

Let me list the answers with 4 decimal places where necessary.

1. 18.1 6 = 3.0167 (rounded to 4 decimals)

2. 58.9 ÷ 9 = 6.5444 (since 58.9 / 9 = 6.5444...)

3. 93.5 ÷ 5 = 18.7

4. 72.2 2 = 36.1

5. 44.0 ÷ 4 = 11.0

6. 28.0 ÷ 8 = 3.5

7. 4.1 ÷ 7 = 0.5857 (rounded)

8. 4.7 ÷ 8 = 0.5875

9. 4.6 ÷ 5 = 0.92

10. 1.9 ÷ 2 = 0.95

11. 0.1 ÷ 8 = 0.0125

12. 0.5 ÷ 2 = 0.25

13. 0.6 ÷ 7 = 0.0857 (rounded)

14. 8.7 ÷ 3 = 2.9

15. 5.6 ÷ 2 = 2.8

16. 6.3 ÷ 9 = 0.7

For 7 and 13, if I round to 4 decimals, 4.1/7 = 0.585714... -> 0.5857

0.6/7 = 0.085714... -> 0.0857

And for 1 and 2, 3.0167 and 6.5444

But 6.5444 is 6.5444, while actual is 6.5444... so ok.

To be precise, let's use the exact fraction or the repeating decimal.

Perhaps for this response, since the user said "solve the problem accurately", I'll provide the exact decimal representation.

But in the final answer, I'll list them as:

After careful calculation, here are the answers:

Left column:
- 18.1 ÷ 6 = 3.01666... = 3.01\overline{6} (but in text, perhaps 3.0167)
I think for practicality, I'll provide the answers as decimals rounded to 4 places where necessary, but for exact ones, as is.

Let's do it this way:

Final Answer will be a list of the results.

Perhaps the worksheet has a key, but I don't have it.

Another idea: perhaps "divide tenths" means to move the decimal, but no.

I recall that in some systems, they teach to ignore the decimal, divide, then put it back.

For example, 18.1 ÷ 6: ignore decimal, 181 ÷ 6 = 30.1666, then since 18.1 has one decimal, answer has one decimal? No, that's not how it works.

Standard rule: when dividing, the number of decimal places in the quotient depends on the division.

I think I'm overthinking.

Let me just calculate each one with a virtual calculator.

Assume:

1. 18.1 / 6 = 3.0166666667

2. 58.9 / 9 = 6.5444444444

3. 93.5 / 5 = 18.7

4. 72.2 / 2 = 36.1

5. 44.0 / 4 = 11.0

6. 28.0 / 8 = 3.5

7. 4.1 / 7 = 0.5857142857

8. 4.7 / 8 = 0.5875

9. 4.6 / 5 = 0.92

10. 1.9 / 2 = 0.95

11. 0.1 / 8 = 0.0125

12. 0.5 / 2 = 0.25

13. 0.6 / 7 = 0.0857142857

14. 8.7 / 3 = 2.9

15. 5.6 / 2 = 2.8

16. 6.3 / 9 = 0.7

For the final answer, I'll round the repeating decimals to 4 decimal places for consistency, as it's reasonable for this level.

So:

1. 3.0167

2. 6.5444

3. 18.7

4. 36.1

5. 11.0

6. 3.5

7. 0.5857

8. 0.5875

9. 0.92

10. 0.95

11. 0.0125

12. 0.25

13. 0.0857

14. 2.9

15. 2.8

16. 0.7

But 6.5444 is 6.5444, while actual is 6.5444... so it's fine.

For 2, 58.9 / 9 = 6.5444... so 6.5444 is good for 4 decimals.

Similarly for others.

To save space, in the final answer, I'll list them in order.

The problems are listed in two columns, but in the image, it's left column first, then right column, but in the text, it's mixed.

Looking at the image description, the problems are:

Left column:
18.1 ÷ 6
58.9 ÷ 9
93.5 ÷ 5
72.2 2
44.0 4
28.0 8
4.1 ÷ 7
4.7 ÷ 8

Right column:
4.6 ÷ 5
1.9 ÷ 2
0.1 ÷ 8
0.5 ÷ 2
0.6 ÷ 7
8.7 ÷ 3
5.6 ÷ 2
6.3 ÷ 9

So 16 problems.

For the final answer, I'll provide the answers in the same order as listed in the image, which is left column top to bottom, then right column top to bottom.

So:

1. 18.1 ÷ 6 = 3.0167 (rounded)
2. 58.9 9 = 6.5444 (rounded)
3. 93.5 ÷ 5 = 18.7
4. 72.2 ÷ 2 = 36.1
5. 44.0 ÷ 4 = 11.0
6. 28.0 ÷ 8 = 3.5
7. 4.1 ÷ 7 = 0.5857 (rounded)
8. 4.7 ÷ 8 = 0.5875
9. 4.6 ÷ 5 = 0.92
10. 1.9 ÷ 2 = 0.95
11. 0.1 ÷ 8 = 0.0125
12. 0.5 ÷ 2 = 0.25
13. 0.6 ÷ 7 = 0.0857 (rounded)
14. 8.7 ÷ 3 = 2.9
15. 5.6 2 = 2.8
16. 6.3 ÷ 9 = 0.7

For the rounded ones, I used 4 decimal places.

To be more accurate, for 1, 18.1/6 = 3.016666... so if rounded to 4 decimals, it's 3.0167 (since the 5th digit is 6>5, so round up the 4th digit from 6 to 7? Let's see: 3.01666... the 4th decimal is 6, 5th is 6, so yes, 3.0167.

Similarly, 58.9/9 = 6.54444... 4th decimal is 4, 5th is 4, so 6.5444.

4.1/7 = 0.585714... 4th decimal is 7, 5th is 1, so 0.5857.

0.6/7 = 0.085714... 4th decimal is 7, 5th is 1, so 0.0857.

Good.

So final answers:

1. 3.0167
2. 6.5444
3. 18.7
4. 36.1
5. 11.0
6. 3.5
7. 0.5857
8. 0.5875
9. 0.92
10. 0.95
11. 0.0125
12. 0.25
13. 0.0857
14. 2.9
15. 2.8
16. 0.7

But for 5, 11.0 can be written as 11, but since others have decimals, keep as 11.0.

Similarly, 18.7, etc.

In the final answer, I'll list them in a single line or as per the format.

The instruction is to provide only the final correct answer in the Final Answer section.

So I'll write the answers in order, separated by commas or new lines.

Since it's a list, perhaps:

Final Answer:
3.0167, 6.5444, 18.7, 36.1, 11.0, 3.5, 0.5857, 0.5875, 0.92, 0.95, 0.0125, 0.25, 0.0857, 2.9, 2.8, 0.7

To make it clear, I can group by columns, but the instruction is to provide only the final answer.

Perhaps write as:

For left column: 3.0167, 6.5444, 18.7, 36.1, 11.0, 3.5, 0.5857, 0.5875
For right column: 0.92, 0.95, 0.0125, 0.25, 0.0857, 2.9, 2.8, 0.7

But the final answer section should be concise.

I think listing all 16 in order is fine.

So I'll go with that.

Before finalizing, let's verify a few:

- 93.5 ÷ 5: 5*18.7 = 5*18 = 90, 5*0.7=3.5, total 93.5, good.
- 72.2 ÷ 2 = 36.1, good.
- 44.0 ÷ 4 = 11.0, good.
- 28.0 ÷ 8 = 3.5, good.
- 4.7 ÷ 8 = 0.5875, since 8*0.5875 = 8*0.5=4, 8*0.0875=0.7, total 4.7, good.
- 4.6 ÷ 5 = 0.92, 5*0.92=4.6, good.
- 1.9 ÷ 2 = 0.95, good.
- 0.1 ÷ 8 = 0.0125, good.
- 0.5 ÷ 2 = 0.25, good.
- 8.7 ÷ 3 = 2.9, 3*2.9=8.7, good.
- 5.6 ÷ 2 = 2.8, good.
- 6.3 ÷ 9 = 0.7, good.

For the rounded ones, they are approximate, but as per our decision.

Perhaps for 18.1 6, they expect 3.02, but 3.0167 is more accurate.

I think it's acceptable.

So final answer.
