Year 7 - Q4.4.01
20437

Calculate \(7.2\div3\).

Hint

Share the tenths equally among three groups.

Year 7 - Q4.4.02
20438

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
20439

Which is the value of \(12.6\div6\)?

A.

\(21\)

B.

\(2.1\)

C.

\(0.21\)

D.

\(2.6\)

Hint

Check a proposed quotient by multiplying it by six.

Year 7 - Q4.4.04
20440

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
20441

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.

Equal sharing of liquid
BatchTotal litresContainers
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
20442

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
20443

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
20444

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
20445

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
20446

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.
