Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re dividing decimals by whole numbers — just like regular division, but we keep the decimal point in the right place.
We’ll go one by one:
1) 9.1 ÷ 7
Think: How many times does 7 go into 9? Once (7), remainder 2. Bring down the 1 → 21. 7 goes into 21 three times. So answer is 1.3
2) 2.8 ÷ 2
2 goes into 2 once, then 8 tenths divided by 2 is 4 tenths → 1.4
3) 6.3 ÷ 3
3 into 6 is 2, 3 into 0.3 is 0.1 → total 2.1
4) 2.4 ÷ 3
3 doesn’t go into 2, so think of it as 24 tenths ÷ 3 = 8 tenths → 0.8
5) 0.5 ÷ 5
5 into 0.5 → that’s half a unit divided by 5 → 0.1
6) 1.6 ÷ 4
4 into 1.6 → 16 tenths ÷ 4 = 4 tenths → 0.4
7) 4.5 ÷ 3
3 into 4 is 1, remainder 1.5 → 3 into 1.5 is 0.5 → total 1.5
8) 0.6 ÷ 6
6 into 0.6 → 6 tenths ÷ 6 = 1 tenth → 0.1
9) 7.2 ÷ 2
2 into 7 is 3, remainder 1.2 → 2 into 1.2 is 0.6 → total 3.6
10) 0.4 ÷ 2
2 into 0.4 → 4 tenths ÷ 2 = 2 tenths → 0.2
11) 7.2 ÷ 3
3 into 7 is 2, remainder 1.2 → 3 into 1.2 is 0.4 → total 2.4
12) 2.4 ÷ 4
4 into 2.4 → 24 tenths ÷ 4 = 6 tenths → 0.6
13) 7.4 ÷ 2
2 into 7 is 3, remainder 1.4 → 2 into 1.4 is 0.7 → total 3.7
14) 7.2 ÷ 8
8 into 7.2 → 72 tenths ÷ 8 = 9 tenths → 0.9
15) 8.2 ÷ 2
2 into 8 is 4, 2 into 0.2 is 0.1 → total 4.1
16) 3.6 ÷ 2
2 into 3 is 1, remainder 1.6 → 2 into 1.6 is 0.8 → total 1.8
