What's on the worksheet

  1. Divide by counting tenths or multiplying both numbers by 10 first:
    2.4 ÷ 0.36.3 ÷ 0.95 ÷ 0.20.9 ÷ 0.311.2 ÷ 0.8
  2. Multiply both numbers by 10 so the divisor is a whole number, then divide:
    9.6 ÷ 1.21.44 ÷ 1.26.5 ÷ 2.50.6 ÷ 0.84.2 ÷ 0.8
  3. Given 1.8 divided by 0.3 is 6, say which other divisions have the same quotient.
  4. Find the mistake in Elena's area model for 10.5 divided by 0.7.
  5. Sort divisions into quotient more than 4.8 and less than 4.8 without dividing.
  6. Word problem: how many scrunchies from blue and green fabric, and how many more green?
