What this worksheet covers

Grade: Grade 5 (Elementary School)
Topic: Division of Decimals
Worksheet: Division of Decimals (Word Problems)

Scenes of sharing a whole equally, of taking out one unit amount at a time, of asking how many times as large, of finding the weight per 1 m and of recovering a side from an area: the Word Problems that use Division of Decimals are spread wide. Some write the quotient and the remainder in separate boxes, and some join two expressions.

Where the question asks how many are needed to hold everything, the answer counts one more for whatever was left over. Papers that drop the remainder and write only the quotient are common, and if the amount for one, multiplied by the count found, does not reach the whole amount, the count is one short.

The procedure itself stays as it was arranged in Decimal ÷ Decimal (Calculations), with the labor of reading from the text which number is divided by which laid on top. Word Problems with Rounded Answers moves on to answering with the quotient rounded off.
