Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Homework • Use the strategies practiced in class. Show your work and check your answers.

Sample questions

1. Compute 0.9 ÷ 0.5 using the standard algorithm. Explain how you determine the decimal point in the answer.
2. Compute 0.6 ÷ 0.2 using the standard algorithm. Explain how you determine the decimal point in the answer.
3. Solve 0.88 ÷ 0.4. Check the result with an inverse operation and explain why the check works.
4. A student claims 0.78 ÷ 0.3 = 26. Use place value or an estimate to diagnose the decimal-point error and give the correct answer.
5. Solve 2.04 ÷ 0.6. Check the result with an inverse operation and explain why the check works.
6. A student claims 1.9 ÷ 0.5 = 38. Use place value or an estimate to diagnose the decimal-point error and give the correct answer.
