1. **Problem:** Complete the divisions given. 2. **Formula:** Division is splitting a number (dividend) into equal parts defined by the divisor. 3. **Rules:** - Divide step-by-step. - Bring down digits as needed. - Use decimal points carefully. --- ### Question 1a: Calculate $6.414 \div 3$ 1. Divide 6 by 3 = 2. 2. Bring down 4: 0.4 \rightarrow 4 divided by 3 = 1 remainder 1. 3. Bring down 1: 11 divided by 3 = 3 remainder 2. 4. Bring down 4: 24 divided by 3 = 8. Answer: $2.138$ --- ### Question 1b: Calculate $9.4385 \div 5$ 1. 9 divided by 5 = 1 remainder 4. 2. Bring down 4: 43 divided by 5 = 8 remainder 3. 3. Bring down 8: 38 divided by 5 = 7 remainder 3. 4. Bring down 5: 35 divided by 5 = 7. Answer: $1.8877$ --- ### Question 1c: Calculate $6.5128 \div 8$ 1. 6 divided by 8 = 0 remainder 6. 2. Bring down 5: 65 divided by 8 = 8 remainder 1. 3. Bring down 1: 11 divided by 8 = 1 remainder 3. 4. Bring down 2: 32 divided by 8 = 4 remainder 0. 5. Bring down 8: 8 divided by 8 = 1. Answer: $0.8141$ --- ### Question 1d: Calculate $5.1232 \div 4$ 1. 5 divided by 4 = 1 remainder 1. 2. Bring down 1: 12 divided by 4 = 3 remainder 0. 3. Bring down 2: 2 divided by 4 = 0 remainder 2. 4. Bring down 3: 23 divided by 4 = 5 remainder 3. 5. Bring down 2: 32 divided by 4 = 8. Answer: $1.2808$ --- ### Question 1e: Calculate $7.644 \div 7$ 1. 7 divided by 7 = 1 remainder 0. 2. Bring down 6: 6 divided by 7 = 0 remainder 6. 3. Bring down 4: 64 divided by 7 = 9 remainder 1. 4. Bring down 4: 14 divided by 7 = 2. Answer: $1.092$ --- ### Question 1f: Calculate $0.846 \div 9$ 1. 0 divided by 9 = 0 remainder 0. 2. Bring down 8: 8 divided by 9 = 0 remainder 8. 3. Bring down 4: 84 divided by 9 = 9 remainder 3. 4. Bring down 6: 36 divided by 9 = 4. Answer: $0.094$ --- ### Question 2a: Calculate $8.654 \div 2$ $8.654 \div 2 = 4.327$ --- ### Question 2b: Calculate $8.922 \div 6$ $8.922 \div 6 = 1.487$ --- ### Question 2c: Calculate $32.925 \div 5$ $32.925 \div 5 = 6.585$ --- ### Question 2d: Calculate $58.912 \div 8$ $58.912 \div 8 = 7.364$ --- ### Question 3: Cost per metre of ribbon Given total cost $9.28$ for $8$ m, Cost per metre = $\frac{9.28}{8} = 1.16$ Answer: $1.16$ per metre --- **Summary:** - Use long division stepwise. - Bring down digits carefully. - Use decimal points correctly. - For cost per unit, divide total cost by quantity.
