Year 7 - Q4.4.01
Calculate \(7.2\div3\).
Hint
Share the tenths equally among three groups.
Year 7 - Q4.4.02
Find the missing number: \(5\times\square=7.5\). Write the related division.
Hint
Division undoes multiplication by the same non-zero number.
Year 7 - Q4.4.03
Which is the value of \(12.6\div6\)?
\(21\)
\(2.1\)
\(0.21\)
\(2.6\)
Hint
Check a proposed quotient by multiplying it by six.
Year 7 - Q4.4.04
A ribbon \(9.24\,\mathrm{m}\) long is cut into seven equal pieces, with no waste. Find the length of each piece.
Hint
Divide the total length by the number of equal pieces.
Year 7 - Q4.4.05
Each batch of liquid is shared equally among the stated number of containers. Complete the per-container amounts and identify which batch gives the largest amount per container.
| Batch | Total litres | Containers |
|---|---|---|
| A | \(4.8\) | \(6\) |
| B | \(7.35\) | \(3\) |
| C | \(12.6\) | \(8\) |
Hint
Divide each row’s total by its own container count.
Year 7 - Q4.4.06
A learner writes \(8.16\div4=2.4\). Explain the missing place-value digit, give the correct quotient, and check it by multiplication.
Hint
After dividing the whole-number part, consider the tenths position even if its quotient digit is zero.
Year 7 - Q4.4.07
Compare dividing \(18.9\) by \(3\) and then by \(5\) with dividing \(18.9\) directly by \(15\). Are they equivalent? Explain and calculate the result.
Hint
Three groups each split into five equal parts produce fifteen equal parts altogether.
Year 7 - Q4.4.08
Seven friends share a bill of \(29.95\) pounds as equally as possible, paying only whole numbers of pennies. Find the equal share rounded to the nearest penny, then give a payment arrangement that totals the bill exactly and differs by at most one penny between friends.
Hint
Check what happens when every person pays the rounded amount.
Year 7 - Q4.4.09
A whole-number divisor \(d\) is between \(3\) and \(9\), inclusive. The quotient \(18.72\div d\) is strictly between \(2\) and \(3\), and can be written exactly with at most two decimal places. Find every possible \(d\) and quotient.
Hint
Use the size condition to discard small divisors. For the remaining choices, test whether the number of hundredths divides exactly.
Year 7 - Q4.4.10
Use the digits \(0,2,4,8\) exactly once to form a number \(A.BCD\). Divide it by \(4\). Find every arrangement whose quotient is strictly between \(0.5\) and \(1\) and can be written exactly with at most two decimal places.
Hint
First use the quotient’s size to determine the whole-number digit of the original number.
