Dividing Tenths By Tenths

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is structured to help students learn how to divide tenths by multiples of 0.01. It presents twenty division problems where the dividend is a number in tenths and the divisor is a multiple of 0.01. An example at the top of the sheet guides students to multiply the decimals by 100 to transform them into whole numbers before performing the division, a technique that simplifies the division process. The worksheet layout provides a clear and organized space for students to write their answers next to each problem.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching students how to simplify decimal division problems by converting decimals into whole numbers, thereby avoiding the complexities of dividing by a decimal. This approach helps students to quickly and accurately find the quotient without dealing with decimal points in the divisor. It reinforces the concept that multiplying both the dividend and the divisor by the same power of ten does not change the quotient but makes the division process easier. This technique is essential for students to master, as it enhances their understanding of the decimal system and prepares them for more advanced math problems.
