Dividing Decimals (B) WORKSHEET
Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi‑digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
Dividing Decimals (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet follows on nicely from Dividing Decimals (A). In this worksheet, we introduce questions where the divisor is a decimal number and want learners to think about how they will get their answer – will they find an equivalent fraction with an integer divisor, or will they divide by the integer by a power of ten? Sections A, B and C have a simple set of questions and a table to complete. The worksheet ends with three word problems in section D, introducing real-life concepts such as mobile phone costs, exchange rates, and shopping.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.

Frequently Asked Questions
The key difference is that Dividing Decimals (B) focuses on division problems where the divisor itself is a decimal number, rather than just dividing whole numbers to get decimal answers. This adds an extra layer of complexity as students need to decide whether to convert to an equivalent fraction with a whole number divisor or use other strategies like multiplying both numbers by powers of ten.
