Dividing Decimals Quiz

What is the first step in dividing decimals?

• Estimate the result

• Rewrite the problem in long division form

• Multiply both numbers by 10

• Round the numbers to the nearest whole number

How can you remember which number goes inside the division bracket?

• The larger number always goes inside

• The number you are dividing goes inside

• The number you are dividing by goes inside

• The number with more decimal places goes inside

In the example of 7.6 divided by 4, where should the decimal point be placed in the quotient?

• It doesn't matter where the decimal is placed

• At the beginning of the quotient

• At the end of the quotient

• Directly above the decimal in the dividend

What is the final result of dividing 7.6 by 4?

• 1.6

• 1.9

• 1.8

• 2.0

What is the purpose of placing the decimal point in the quotient before starting the division?

• To make the quotient a whole number

• To avoid forgetting its position

• To make the division faster

• To ensure accuracy in the result

Why is it important to convert the divisor to a whole number when dividing by decimals?

• It helps in estimating the result

• It is not necessary to convert the divisor

• It changes the value of the quotient

• It makes the division process easier

What happens to the dividend when you move the decimal point in the divisor?

• The dividend is divided by 10

• The dividend is multiplied by 10

• The dividend's decimal point is moved the same number of places

• The dividend remains unchanged

In the example of 2.45 divided by 0.007, what is the result after converting the divisor to a whole number?

• 24.5 divided by 7

• 2450 divided by 7

• 2.45 divided by 7

• 245 divided by 7

Why does dividing by a decimal less than one increase the value of the quotient?

• Because the divisor becomes negative

• Because it is similar to multiplying by a fraction

• Because decimals are always larger than whole numbers

• Because the dividend is reduced

What is the final result of dividing 2.45 by 0.007?

• 3.5

• 0.35

• 35

• 350
