1.

The picture shows 5 groups of 3 bars. Each bar represents 1/10. We take the picture to mean that ...

... (15/10) / 5 = 3/10

In decimal:

... 1.5 / 5 = 0.3

2.

The picture shows 3 groups of 2 bars. Each bar represents 1/10. We take the picture to mean that ...

... (6/10) / 3 = 2/10

In decimal:

... 0.6 / 3 = 0.2

3.

The picture shows 4 groups, each consisting of 1 large square, 1 bar, and 4 small squares. We take the picture to mean that ...

... (4 + 4/10 + 16/100) / 4 = 1 + 1/10 + 4/100

In decimal:

... 4.56 / 4 = 1.14

Please note that 16/100 is equivalent to 1/10 + 6/100. In order to do the division, one of the 1/10 bars needed to be changed into 10 small squares, 10/100.

4.

The picture shows 3 groups, each consisting of 1 large square, 3 bars, and 2 small squares. We take the picture to mean that ...

... (3 + 9/10 +6/100) / 3 = 1 +3/10 + 2/100

In decimal:

... 3.96 / 3 = 1.32
