Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Guided Practice • Work with your teacher or a partner. Discuss the model or strategy, then complete each problem.

Sample questions

  1. Compute 15.7 × 0.31 using the standard algorithm. Explain how you determine the decimal point in the answer.
  2. Compute 36.1 × 0.67 using the standard algorithm. Explain how you determine the decimal point in the answer.
  3. Solve 22.5 × 0.43. Check the result with an inverse operation and explain why the check works.
  4. Solve 42.9 × 0.79. Check the result with an inverse operation and explain why the check works.
  5. A student claims 29.3 × 0.55 = 161.15. Use place value or an estimate to diagnose the decimal-point error and give the correct answer.
  6. A student claims 49.7 × 0.91 = 452.27. Use place value or an estimate to diagnose the decimal-point error and give the correct answer.
