What this worksheet covers

Grade: Grade 4 (Elementary School)
Topic: Multiplying and Dividing Decimals
Worksheet: Division with Rounded Answers

Expressions that never come out however far they run are rounded at a chosen point and answered. Four ways are set: To the Tenths Place (Column Calculation) and To the Hundredths Place (Column Calculation), To 1 Significant Digit (Column Calculation) and To 2 Significant Digits (Column Calculation), and the same four appear once more as word problems set in a scene.

The column layout is given already carried one place beyond where the answer is to be written. Answers appear with that bottom figure copied straight into the answer box and no rounding done. Counting whether the figures in the answer box come to just as many as the place or the significant digits named is the check.

Extending Division Into Decimals ran until the division came out, whereas here the answer is rounded at a chosen place. In Order of Operations with Decimals, multiplying, dividing and adding share one expression and the order of working becomes the question.

To the Tenths Place (Word Problems)1 question
To the Hundredths Place (Word Problems)1 question
To 1 Significant Digit (Word Problems)1 question
To 2 Significant Digits (Word Problems)1 question
