📋 Answer Key

Part 1: Multiple Choice Answers

1. 2.4 (First option)
2. $4.20 (First option)
3. All of the above (Fourth option)
4. 2.1 (First option)
5. 2.4 (First option)

Part 2: Problem-Solving Answers

6. 9.6 ÷ 3 = 3.2

7. 15.4 ÷ 7 = 2.2 feet per piece

8.
Cost of each notebook: $18.75 ÷ 5 = $3.75
Cost of each pen: $4.50 ÷ 3 = $1.50
Difference: $3.75 - $1.50 = $2.25

9. 63 ÷ 3 = 21
Pattern: When the decimal moves one place to the right in the dividend (6.3 becomes 63), the decimal moves one place to the right in the quotient (2.1 becomes 21).

10. Sample answer: The decimal point in the quotient goes directly above the decimal point in the dividend. This maintains the place value relationships as we divide each digit.
