Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers (A) math worksheet for practice.

Sure! Let’s solve each of these decimal division problems step by step. The goal is to divide each decimal number by the whole number shown, and find the quotient (the result of the division).

We’ll go row by row.

🔹 Row 1:

#### 1. 6.5 ÷ 9
- 9 goes into 6.5 → 0 times. Add a decimal point and zero: 65 tenths.
- 9 × 7 = 63 → subtract → remainder 2 → bring down 0 → 20 hundredths.
- 9 × 2 = 18 → remainder 2 → bring down 0 → 20 again → repeats.
- So: 0.722... (repeating)

✔ Answer: 0.722... or 0.7̅2̅ (but for practical purposes, often rounded to 3 decimals: 0.722)

#### 2. 9.29 ÷ 6
- 6 goes into 9 → 1 time → 1×6=6 → subtract → 3.29
- Bring down → 32 (tenths) → 6×5=30 → subtract → 2.9
- Bring down → 29 (hundredths) → 6×4=24 → subtract → 5 → add 0 → 50 thousandths
- 6×8=48 → subtract → 2 → repeat...

So: 1.548333...

✔ Answer: 1.548 (rounded to 3 decimals)

#### 3. 5.8492 ÷ 5
- 5 goes into 5 → 1 → subtract → 0.8492
- 5 into 8 → 1 → 1×5=5 → subtract → 3.492
- 5 into 34 → 6 → 6×5=30 → subtract → 4.92
- 5 into 49 → 9 → 9×5=45 → subtract → 4.2
- 5 into 42 → 8 → 8×5=40 → subtract → 2 → add 0 → 20 → 5×4=20

So: 1.16984

✔ Answer: 1.16984

#### 6. 3.6297 ÷ 9
- 9 into 3.6 → 0.4 → 4×9=3.6 → subtract → 0.0297
- 9 into 29 → 3 → 3×9=27 → subtract → 27
- 9 into 27 → 3 → 3×9=27 → subtract → 0

So: 0.4033

✔ Answer: 0.4033

#### 8. 5.67 ÷ 3
- 3 into 5 → 1 → 1×3=3 → subtract → 2.67
- 3 into 26 → 8 → 8×3=24 → subtract → 2.7
- 3 into 27 → 9 → 9×3=27 → subtract → 0

✔ Answer: 1.89

#### 10. 8.12 ÷ 6
- 6 into 8 → 1 → 1×6=6 → subtract → 2.12
- 6 into 21 → 3 → 3×6=18 → subtract → 3.2
- 6 into 32 → 5 → 5×6=30 → subtract → 2 → add 0 → 20 → 6×3=18 → 2 → repeat

So: 1.35333...

✔ Answer: 1.353 (rounded)
