Dividing 1 Digit Decimals By A Decimal Whole Number Quotients Practice Activities
Printable Class 6 maths practice for dividing one-decimal-place numbers by decimals to get whole-number quotients.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding the skill
These Class 6 maths worksheets help children divide one-decimal-place numbers by decimals when the answer is a whole number. Learners practise turning examples such as 4.8 ÷ 0.6 into an equivalent whole-number division and checking that the quotient makes sense.
The printable activities include focused calculation practice, missing-number questions, and mixed examples that require careful decimal-point movement. They are useful after children understand place value, tenths, and the idea that multiplying both dividend and divisor by 10 keeps the quotient unchanged.
This worksheet collection focuses on decimal division with one digit after the decimal point, where both numbers can be scaled to make the calculation simpler. For example, 5.4 ÷ 0.9 becomes 54 ÷ 9, so the quotient is 6. Children see that the value of the division does not change when both the dividend and divisor are multiplied by the same power of 10.
Progression in the practice
The activities move from direct divisions to questions that need a little more thinking, such as finding a missing divisor or quotient. Problems are chosen so the answers are whole numbers, allowing children to concentrate on the method: identify decimal places, multiply both numbers by 10, divide, then check. This builds confidence before they meet decimal quotients later.
Parent routine at home
Use a short daily routine with three steps. First, ask your child to read the question aloud and say which number is being divided. Next, have them rewrite the problem without decimals, such as 7.2 ÷ 0.8 → 72 ÷ 8. Finally, ask them to check the answer by multiplication: 9 × 0.8 = 7.2. This check is especially helpful because it connects division and multiplication.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for independent practice after modelling decimal shifting on the board. They also work well in maths centres, quick revision groups, or exit tickets where pupils explain one converted example in words. Pair work is useful: one child converts the decimal division, while the other verifies the quotient using multiplication.
Common errors to watch for
Children may move the decimal point in only one number, or they may multiply by 100 when only one decimal place is present. Some may treat 0.6 as 6 without making the same change to the dividend. Encourage neat rewriting, alignment of digits, and a written check. Vocabulary such as dividend, divisor, quotient, tenths, and equivalent division should be used consistently.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The iBloom sheets keep the focus narrow: one-decimal-place divisions by decimals with whole-number answers. This helps children practise the exact reasoning step repeatedly without being distracted by long decimal quotients. A child-friendly strategy is: “Make the divisor a whole number, do the same to the dividend, divide, then multiply back to check.”
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What exact decimal division skill do these worksheets practise?
They practise dividing numbers with one digit after the decimal point by decimals, with questions designed so the quotient is a whole number.
How should my child solve a problem like 4.8 ÷ 0.6?
They should multiply both numbers by 10 to get 48 ÷ 6, then divide to get 8. They can check by multiplying 8 × 0.6 = 4.8.
Why are the answers whole numbers in this practice set?
Whole-number quotients let children focus on the key method of converting an equivalent decimal division before moving on to answers that are decimals.
What mistake should I look for when checking my child’s work?
The most common mistake is moving the decimal point in the divisor but not making the same change to the dividend. Both numbers must be multiplied by the same amount.
Are these worksheets suitable for revision before decimal quotient problems?
Yes. They are a good bridge between basic decimal place value and more advanced decimal division where the quotient may also contain decimal places.
Is this Class 6 dividing decimals by decimals worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this Class 6 dividing decimals by decimals worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
