In this worksheet, carry out written divisions of decimal numbers up to 2 decimal places.
Dividing a decimal by a whole number is very similar to a normal division.
We just line up the decimal points.
Look at these examples, one without decimals and one with.
So
734 ÷ 2 = 367
and
7.34 ÷ 2 = 3.67
Example
Use a written division to calculate:
8.45 ÷ 5
Answer
8 ÷ 5 = 1 r3
34 ÷ 5 = 6 r4
45 ÷ 5 = 9
The answer is 1.69.
