Let's solve each of the decimal division problems on the worksheet step by step. The goal is to divide each decimal number by the given whole number, keeping two decimal places in the answer.

1) 44.94 ÷ 7
We divide 44.94 by 7:
- 7 goes into 44 six times (6 × 7 = 42), remainder 2.
- Bring down 9 → 29
- 7 goes into 29 four times (4 × 7 = 28), remainder 1.
- Bring down 4 → 14
- 7 goes into 14 exactly two times (2 × 7 = 14), remainder 0.
- Now place the decimal point and bring down the next digit (but we already used all digits).
Wait — actually, we need to consider the decimal properly.
Let’s do it with proper long division:
```
6.42
_______
7 | 44.94
-42
----
29
-28
----
14
-14
