Decimal division practice worksheet with nine problems requiring division of numbers with one decimal place.

Let’s solve each division problem step by step. We’re dividing whole numbers and decimals by single-digit numbers, and we’ll make sure to place the decimal point correctly in the answer.

---

1) 137.6 ÷ 2

- 2 goes into 13 six times (6 × 2 = 12), remainder 1.
- Bring down 7 → 17. 2 goes into 17 eight times (8 × 2 = 16), remainder 1.
- Bring down 6 → 16. But wait — there’s a decimal point! So after 137, we have .6.
- Actually, let’s do it properly with decimal alignment:

Divide 137.6 by 2:

→ 2 into 13 = 6, write 6 above 3
→ 6×2=12, subtract from 13 → 1
→ Bring down 7 → 17
→ 2 into 17 = 8, write 8 above 7
→ 8×2=16, subtract → 1
→ Bring down 6 → 16 (but this is after decimal, so put decimal in quotient now)
→ 2 into 16 = 8, write 8 after decimal
→ Answer: 68.8

✔ Check: 68.8 × 2 = 137.6 ✔️

2) 578.4 ÷ 3

- 3 into 5 = 1, remainder 2
- Bring down 7 → 27 → 3 into 27 = 9
- Bring down 8 → 8 → 3 into 8 = 2, remainder 2
- Now decimal: bring down 4 → 24
- 3 into 24 = 8
→ Quotient: 192.8

✔ Check: 192.8 × 3 = 578.4 ✔️

---

3) 724.2 ÷ 6

- 6 into 7 = 1, rem 1
- Bring down 2 → 12 → 6 into 12 = 2
- Bring down 4 → 4 → 6 into 4 = 0, rem 4
- Decimal: bring down 2 → 42
- 6 into 42 = 7
→ Quotient: 120.7

✔ Check: 120.7 × 6 = 724.2 ✔️

---

4) 218.5 ÷ 5

- 5 into 21 = 4, rem 1
- Bring down 8 → 18 → 5 into 18 = 3, rem 3
- Decimal: bring down 5 → 35
- 5 into 35 = 7
→ Quotient: 43.7

✔ Check: 43.7 × 5 = 218.5 ✔️

---

5) 538.4 ÷ 4

- 4 into 5 = 1, rem 1
- Bring down 3 → 13 → 4 into 13 = 3, rem 1
- Bring down 8 → 18 → 4 into 18 = 4, rem 2
- Decimal: bring down 4 → 24
- 4 into 24 = 6
→ Quotient: 134.6

✔ Check: 134.6 × 4 = 538.4 ✔️

---

6) 843.6 ÷ 3

- 3 into 8 = 2, rem 2
- Bring down 4 → 24 → 3 into 24 = 8
- Bring down 3 → 3 → 3 into 3 = 1
- Decimal: bring down 6 → 6
- 3 into 6 = 2
→ Quotient: 281.2

✔ Check: 281.2 × 3 = 843.6 ✔️

---

7) 562.5 ÷ 9

- 9 into 56 = 6, rem 2 (6×9=54)
- Bring down 2 → 22 → 9 into 22 = 2, rem 4 (2×9=18)
- Decimal: bring down 5 → 45
- 9 into 45 = 5
→ Quotient: 62.5

✔ Check: 62.5 × 9 = 562.5 ✔️

---

8) 267.3 ÷ 6

- 6 into 26 = 4, rem 2 (4×6=24)
- Bring down 7 → 27 → 6 into 27 = 4, rem 3 (4×6=24)
- Decimal: bring down 3 → 33
- 6 into 33 = 5, rem 3? Wait — 5×6=30, rem 3 → but we need exact? Let’s check:

Actually, 267.3 ÷ 6:

Do long division carefully:

6 | 267.3
→ 6 into 26 = 4 → 4×6=24 → subtract → 2
→ Bring down 7 → 27 → 6 into 27 = 4 → 4×6=24 → subtract → 3
→ Bring down 3 → 33 (after decimal) → 6 into 33 = 5 → 5×6=30 → subtract → 3
Wait — that leaves remainder 3? But 267.3 should divide evenly?

Hold on — maybe I made a mistake.

Let me recalculate:

267.3 ÷ 6

Break it: 267 ÷ 6 = 44.5? No.

Better: 6 × 44 = 264 → 267 - 264 = 3 → so 44 + 3/6 = 44.5 → then add the .3? No.

Wait — total number is 267.3

So: 6 × 44.55 = ?

Try: 6 × 44.5 = 267 → then 0.3 left → 0.3 ÷ 6 = 0.05 → so total 44.55

But let’s do proper long division:

6 | 267.30
→ 6 into 26 = 4 → 24 → rem 2
→ Bring down 7 → 27 → 6 into 27 = 4 → 24 → rem 3
→ Bring down 3 → 33 → 6 into 33 = 5 → 30 → rem 3
→ Add zero → 30 → 6 into 30 = 5
→ So quotient is 44.55

But the problem says “with 1DP” — meaning one decimal place? But 267.3 ÷ 6 = 44.55 which is two decimal places.

Wait — perhaps I misread. The sheet title says “DECIMAL DIVISION WITH 1DP SHEET 1” — probably means the dividend has 1 decimal place, not that the answer must be rounded to 1 DP.

Looking at other problems — they all result in exactly 1 decimal place.

Check 267.3 ÷ 6:

Calculate: 267.3 ÷ 6 = ?

6 × 44 = 264
267.3 - 264 = 3.3
3.3 ÷ 6 = 0.55
So 44 + 0.55 = 44.55 — that’s two decimals.

But look back at problem 1: 137.6 ÷ 2 = 68.8 — one decimal.

Problem 2: 578.4 ÷ 3 = 192.8 — one decimal.

Problem 3: 724.2 ÷ 6 = 120.7 — one decimal.

Problem 4: 218.5 ÷ 5 = 43.7 — one decimal.

Problem 5: 538.4 ÷ 4 = 134.6 — one decimal.

Problem 6: 843.6 ÷ 3 = 281.2 — one decimal.

Problem 7: 562.5 ÷ 9 = 62.5 — one decimal.

Problem 8: 267.3 ÷ 6 — should be one decimal? But 44.55 is not.

Wait — did I miscalculate?

Let me compute 6 × 44.5 = 267.0
Then 267.3 - 267.0 = 0.3
0.3 ÷ 6 = 0.05 → so 44.5 + 0.05 = 44.55

But perhaps the problem expects us to stop at one decimal? Or maybe I have an error.

Wait — let's do it again:

Long division of 267.3 by 6:

Step 1: 6 into 26 = 4, write 4, 4×6=24, subtract from 26 → 2
Step 2: bring down 7 → 27, 6 into 27 = 4, 4×6=24, subtract → 3
Step 3: bring down 3 → 33 (this is after decimal, so put decimal in quotient)
6 into 33 = 5, 5×6=30, subtract → 3
Now, if we stop here, we have 44.5 with remainder 3, but since it's decimal, we can continue.

But the dividend has only one decimal place, and others worked out evenly to one decimal.

Perhaps I made a mistake in setup.

Another way: 267.3 ÷ 6 = (2673 ÷ 10) ÷ 6 = 2673 ÷ 60

2673 ÷ 60:

60 × 44 = 2640
2673 - 2640 = 33
33 ÷ 60 = 0.55
So 44.55

But looking at the pattern, all other answers are exact to one decimal place. Maybe this one is too? Or perhaps I need to round?

Wait — let's check problem 9 first.

9) 362.4 ÷ 8

- 8 into 36 = 4, rem 4 (4×8=32)
- Bring down 2 → 42 → 8 into 42 = 5, rem 2 (5×8=40)
- Decimal: bring down 4 → 24
- 8 into 24 = 3
→ Quotient: 45.3

✔ Check: 45.3 × 8 = 362.4 ✔️

Back to problem 8: 267.3 ÷ 6

Perhaps it's 44.55, but the sheet might expect rounding to one decimal? But the instruction doesn't say to round.

Wait — let me calculate numerically:

267.3 ÷ 6 = 44.55

But 44.55 has two decimal places. However, in the context of the worksheet, since all others are exact to one decimal, maybe I have a calculation error.

Let me try multiplying 44.5 × 6 = 267.0
Then 267.3 - 267.0 = 0.3, which is not divisible by 6 without going to hundredths.

But look at the original image — it's written as "267.3", and divisor 6.

Perhaps it's intended to be 44.55, but the worksheet title says "WITH 1DP" — likely referring to the dividend having one decimal place, not the quotient.

In that case, we should report the exact quotient.

But let's see the other problems — they all give quotients with exactly one decimal place. For example, 562.5 ÷ 9 = 62.5, which is exact.

For 267.3 ÷ 6, it's 44.55, which is not one decimal.

Unless... did I misread the number? Is it 267.6 or something? No, it's 267.3.

Perhaps in long division, we can write it as 44.55, but for consistency, maybe the problem allows two decimals? But the title says "1DP Sheet 1", which might mean the dividends have 1 decimal place.

I think we should go with the mathematical correct answer.

So 267.3 ÷ 6 = 44.55

But let's double-check with calculator logic:

6 * 44.55 = 6*44 = 264, 6*0.55=3.3, total 267.3 ✔️

So it's correct.

However, looking back at the worksheet, all other answers are terminating at one decimal place. Perhaps for this one, it's also expected to be written as 44.6 if rounded, but that would be inaccurate.

Wait — let's see if there's a typo in my reading.

The user's image shows: 8) 6|267.3

Yes.

Perhaps in some curricula, they teach to stop at the same decimal places as the dividend, but that doesn't make sense.

Another thought: maybe I should express it as 44.55, but since the worksheet is for 1DP, perhaps they want it rounded to 1DP? But 44.55 rounded to 1DP is 44.6.

But let's check if 44.6 * 6 = 267.6, which is not 267.3 — so that's wrong.

So it must be 44.55.

But then why do all others work out to one decimal? Let's list them:

1) 137.6 / 2 = 68.8 — one decimal

2) 578.4 / 3 = 192.8 — one decimal

3) 724.2 / 6 = 120.7 — one decimal

4) 218.5 / 5 = 43.7 — one decimal

5) 538.4 / 4 = 134.6 — one decimal

6) 843.6 / 3 = 281.2 — one decimal

7) 562.5 / 9 = 62.5 — one decimal

8) 267.3 / 6 = 44.55 — two decimals

9) 362.4 / 8 = 45.3 — one decimal

Only problem 8 gives two decimals. That suggests either a typo in the problem or in my calculation.

Let me recalculate 267.3 ÷ 6:

Do it as fractions: 267.3 = 2673/10

So (2673/10) / 6 = 2673/(10*6) = 2673/60

Simplify 2673 ÷ 3 = 891, 60 ÷ 3 = 20, so 891/20

891 ÷ 20 = 44.55

Yes.

Perhaps the worksheet has a mistake, or perhaps for this one, we leave it as 44.55.

But to match the format, maybe they expect 44.6, but that's incorrect.

Another idea: perhaps "1DP" means the quotient should have one decimal place, so we round.

But 44.55 rounded to one decimal is 44.6, and 44.6 * 6 = 267.6 ≠ 267.3, so that's not accurate.

I think we should provide the exact answer.

So for problem 8, it's 44.55.

But let's see the final answer format — we need to box all answers.

Perhaps in the context, since it's a school worksheet, and others are exact, maybe I missed something.

Let's do long division again for 267.3 ÷ 6:

Write it as:

_______
6 | 267.3

6 into 26 = 4, 4*6=24, subtract, get 2

Bring down 7, make 27

6 into 27 = 4, 4*6=24, subtract, get 3

Bring down 3, make 33 (this is tenths place, so put decimal in quotient)

6 into 33 = 5, 5*6=30, subtract, get 3

Now, to continue, add a zero, make 30

6 into 30 = 5, so next digit is 5

So quotient is 44.55

Yes.

So I'll go with that.

For the sake of the worksheet, perhaps they intend for students to recognize when it terminates, but here it does terminate at two decimals.

So final answers:

1) 68.8
2) 192.8
3) 120.7
4) 43.7
5) 134.6
6) 281.2
7) 62.5
8) 44.55
9) 45.3

But problem 8 has two decimals, while others have one. Perhaps it's acceptable.

Maybe the "1DP" refers to the dividend, not the quotient.

I think it's fine.

So let's compile the final answers.

Final Answer:
1) 68.8
2) 192.8
3) 120.7
4) 43.7
5) 134.6
6) 281.2
7) 62.5
8) 44.55
9) 45.3
