Division with Decimal Answers is a Grade 5 mathematics worksheet that helps students divide whole numbers and express quotients as decimal answers. The 15 multiple-choice questions include divisions such as 124 ÷ 8, 450 ÷ 4, and 12,000 ÷ 7, requiring students to identify both terminating decimals and repeating decimals written with ellipses. The answer choices also prompt students to attend to place value and quotient size. Use this free printable worksheet with guided practice, independent review, or a quick check of students’ accuracy when dividing by one- and two-digit divisors. Students compare possible decimal quotients and select the value that correctly represents each division problem, including results such as 15.5, 112.5, 206.25, and 1,714.28571.... A complete answer key is included for efficient checking and feedback.

Answer KeyThis Grade 5 worksheet covers dividing whole numbers by one- and two-digit divisors and identifying the resulting decimal quotient. Its 15 multiple-choice items include terminating answers such as 15.5 and 206.25 as well as repeating answers such as 13.333333... and 19.6666667..., helping students use place value to distinguish accurate quotients from close distractors.
First model how to continue division beyond the whole-number remainder by adding a decimal point and zeros, then discuss why some quotients terminate while others repeat. Have students solve a few items such as 124 ÷ 8 and 80 ÷ 6 with the division algorithm before using the multiple-choice options to explain why 15.5 or 13.333333... is correct. Finish by asking students to estimate each quotient to check whether the selected answer is reasonable.
Students may stop after finding a whole-number quotient, choose a rounded value such as 13.3 instead of the repeating quotient 13.333333..., or misplace the decimal point and select a value with the wrong magnitude. They may also confuse a terminating answer such as 112.5 with a nearby distractor such as 112.2. Ask students to use multiplication or estimation to verify selected answers, especially for the larger values such as 698 ÷ 4 and 12,000 ÷ 7.
