6th - 6th Grade
Mathematics
This free printable Grade 6 mathematics worksheet helps students divide decimals by decimals through 10 multiple-choice questions. Students solve problems such as 14.28 ÷ 4.2, 6 ÷ 2.4, and 96 ÷ 0.04, applying place-value reasoning and the strategy of making a decimal divisor a whole number. The set also includes a brownie-mix word problem, a question about equivalent quotients, and a decimal-division problem that requires rounding to the tenths place. Designed for basic operations practice, this worksheet gives students varied opportunities to compute decimal quotients, select accurate answers, interpret division in context, and check how scaling both numbers affects a quotient. It is suitable for Grade 6 independent practice, review, or a short skills assessment. The worksheet is available as a free printable PDF and includes a complete answer key for efficient checking and feedback.

FAQs
What does the Dividing Decimals by Decimals worksheet cover?
This Grade 6 worksheet uses 10 multiple-choice questions to practice dividing decimals by decimals, including problems with decimal divisors such as 4.2, 0.8, 0.04, and 0.9. Students also apply decimal division to a brownie-mix word problem, compare equivalent quotients, and round a quotient to the tenths place.
How can I use this worksheet to teach dividing decimals by decimals?
First model how multiplying both the dividend and divisor by the same power of 10 creates a whole-number divisor, then work through an item such as 14.28 ÷ 4.2. Have students explain their place-value shifts before completing the multiple-choice questions, and use the 6.4 ÷ 0.08 equivalence item to discuss why scaling both numbers preserves the quotient.
What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this decimal division worksheet?
Watch for students moving the decimal in the divisor without moving it the same number of places in the dividend, especially in items such as 96 ÷ 0.04 and 1.08 ÷ 4. Students may also misread the scale of the quotient, choose an unrounded value for 5.6372 ÷ 0.17, or assume every scaled expression in the equivalent-quotient question has the same value.
How do I assign and grade this Dividing Decimals by Decimals worksheet?
Wayground provides this worksheet as both a printable PDF and a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for all 10 multiple-choice questions. For printable submissions, you can scan students’ completed work with the Wayground for Teachers app to support grading and review.
