Absolutely! Let’s solve each of these decimal division problems step by step, using the 3-step method provided in your worksheet.
---
✔ Step-by-Step Method Recap:
1.
Identify dividend and divisor — the number being divided (dividend) and the number dividing it (divisor).
2.
If divisor is not a whole number, multiply it by a power of 10 to make it whole. Then multiply the dividend by the same power of 10.
3.
Use long division to find the quotient.

Let’s go problem by problem:
---
1.) 5.6 ÷ 0.8
- Divisor = 0.8 → not whole → multiply by 10 → becomes
8
- Multiply dividend by 10 →
5.6 × 10 = 56
- Now:
56 ÷ 8 = 7
✔ Answer: 7
---
2.) 4.9 ÷ 7
- Divisor = 7 → already whole → skip Step 2
- Long division: 4.9 ÷ 7
→ 7 goes into 49 (tenths) 7 times →
0.7
✔ Answer: 0.7
---
3.) 3.6 ÷ 1.5
- Divisor = 1.5 → multiply by 10 →
15
- Dividend: 3.6 × 10 =
36
- 36 ÷ 15 = ?
→ 15 × 2 = 30 → remainder 6 → bring down 0 → 60 ÷ 15 = 4 → so
2.4
✔ Answer: 2.4
---
4.) 5.3 ÷ 0.5
- Divisor = 0.5 → ×10 →
5
- Dividend: 5.3 × 10 =
53
- 53 ÷ 5 =
10.6
✔ Answer: 10.6
---
5.) 1.8 ÷ 2
- Divisor = 2 → whole → skip Step 2
- 1.8 ÷ 2 =
0.9
✔ Answer: 0.9
---
6.) 11.2 ÷ 2.8
- Divisor = 2.8 → ×10 →
28
- Dividend: 11.2 × 10 =
112
- 112 ÷ 28 =
4
✔ Answer: 4
---
7.) 1.8 ÷ 0.8
- Divisor = 0.8 → ×10 →
8
- Dividend: 1.8 × 10 =
18
- 18 ÷ 8 =
2.25
✔ Answer: 2.25
---
8.) 5.7 ÷ 3
- Divisor = 3 → whole → skip Step 2
- 5.7 ÷ 3 → 3 goes into 5 once (3), remainder 2 → bring down 7 → 27 ÷ 3 = 9 → so
1.9
✔ Answer: 1.9
---
9.) 5.1 ÷ 1.2
- Divisor = 1.2 → ×10 →
12
- Dividend: 5.1 × 10 =
51
- 51 ÷ 12 = ?
→ 12 × 4 = 48 → remainder 3 → add decimal → 30 ÷ 12 = 2.5 → total
4.25
✔ Answer: 4.25
---
10.) 7.49 ÷ 0.2
- Divisor = 0.2 → ×10 →
2
- Dividend: 7.49 × 10 =
74.9
- 74.9 ÷ 2 =
37.45
✔ Answer: 37.45
---
11.) 3.6 ÷ 4.8
- Divisor = 4.8 → ×10 →
48
- Dividend: 3.6 × 10 =
36
- 36 ÷ 48 = ?
→ 36 ÷ 48 = 0.75 (since 48 × 0.75 = 36)
✔ Answer: 0.75
---
12.) 12.9 ÷ 3
- Divisor = 3 → whole → skip Step 2
- 12.9 ÷ 3 =
4.3
✔ Answer: 4.3
---
13.) 7.9 ÷ 2
- Divisor = 2 → whole → skip Step 2
- 7.9 ÷ 2 =
3.95
✔ Answer: 3.95
---
14.) 9.8 ÷ 0.2
- Divisor = 0.2 → ×10 →
2
- Dividend: 9.8 × 10 =
98
- 98 ÷ 2 =
49
✔ Answer: 49
---
15.) 3.4 ÷ 0.4
- Divisor = 0.4 → ×10 →
4
- Dividend: 3.4 × 10 =
34
- 34 ÷ 4 =
8.5
✔ Answer: 8.5
---
16.) 6.8 ÷ 2.5
- Divisor = 2.5 → ×10 →
25
- Dividend: 6.8 × 10 =
68
- 68 ÷ 25 = ?
→ 25 × 2 = 50 → remainder 18 → 180 ÷ 25 = 7.2 → so
2.72
✔ Answer: 2.72
