Division fact fluency 5
Find the missing numbers. Use the 8s multiplication facts. \(32 \div 8 = \square\) \(48 \div \square = 6\) \(\square \div 8 = 3\) \(\square \div 8 = 10\)

Hints

- What multiplication fact is related to each division equation? - When the first number is missing, multiply the other two numbers. - Check each completed equation with multiplication.

Solution

1. Since \(4\times8=32\), \(32\div8=4\). 2. Since \(6\times8=48\), the missing number in \(48\div\square=6\) is \(8\). 3. Since \(3\times8=24\), the missing number in \(\square\div8=3\) is \(24\). 4. Since \(10\times8=80\), the missing number in \(\square\div8=10\) is \(80\).

Answer

\(32 \div 8 = 4\) \(48 \div 8 = 6\) \(24 \div 8 = 3\) \(80 \div 8 = 10\)
Division fact fluency 6
Check each equation. Two are incorrect. Find them and write the corrected equations. a) \(42\,\text{lb} \div 6 = 7\,\text{lb}\) b) \(54\,\text{ft} \div 9 = 7\,\text{ft}\) c) \(32\,\text{cups} \div 4 = 8\,\text{cups}\) d) \(48\,\text{in.} \div 8 = 6\,\text{in.}\) e) \(\$63 \div 7 = \$8\)

Hints

- Use multiplication to check each division equation. - For each one, ask what number multiplied by the number you divide by makes the starting amount. - Exactly two equations need to be corrected.

Solution

1. Part a is correct because \(42 \div 6 = 7\). 2. Part b is incorrect because \(54 \div 9 = 6\). The correction is \(54\,\text{ft} \div 9 = 6\,\text{ft}\). 3. Part c is correct because \(32 \div 4 = 8\). 4. Part d is correct because \(48 \div 8 = 6\). 5. Part e is incorrect because \(63 \div 7 = 9\). The correction is \(\$63 \div 7 = \$9\).

Answer

b) \(54\,\text{ft} \div 9 = 6\,\text{ft}\) e) \(\$63 \div 7 = \$9\)

Answer

A, B, C, and E; each equals \(8\).
Division fact fluency 8
Work out each pair mentally. Write \(<\), \(>\), or \(=\). a) \(32\div4\;\square\;18\div2\) b) \(45\div5\;\square\;54\div6\) c) \(21\div3\;\square\;28\div7\) d) \(40\div8\;\square\;30\div5\) e) \(72\div9\;\square\;64\div8\)

Hints

- Find the answer to each division fact. - Compare the two answers in each pair. - Use a multiplication fact to check any answer you are unsure about.

Solution

1. \(32 \div 4 = 8\) and \(18 \div 2 = 9\), so \(8 < 9\). 2. \(45 \div 5 = 9\) and \(54 \div 6 = 9\), so \(9 = 9\). 3. \(21 \div 3 = 7\) and \(28 \div 7 = 4\), so \(7 > 4\). 4. \(40 \div 8 = 5\) and \(30 \div 5 = 6\), so \(5 < 6\). 5. \(72 \div 9 = 8\) and \(64 \div 8 = 8\), so \(8 = 8\).

Solution

1. \(72\div8=9\). 2. \(32\div4=8\), so the missing number is \(32\). 3. \(45\div5=9\), so the missing number is \(5\).

Answer

a) \(9\) b) \(32\) c) \(5\)
Division fact fluency 10
Look at the array. Write a division equation that finds how many dots are in each row. Then write a multiplication equation to check your answer.

Hints

- Work backward with multiplication. - Multiply the number after \(\div\) by the answer. - Check the completed division fact.

Solution

1. \(6 \times 7 = 42\), so \(42 \div 6 = 7\). 2. \(8 \times 5 = 40\), so \(40 \div 8 = 5\). 3. \(9 \times 4 = 36\), so \(36 \div 9 = 4\). 4. \(3 \times 8 = 24\), so \(24 \div 3 = 8\).

Answer

a) \(42\) b) \(40\) c) \(36\) d) \(24\)
Division fact fluency 13
Sort the four division facts into two groups: those with answer \(6\) and those with answer \(8\). \(42\div7\), \(54\div9\), \(48\div6\), \(64\div8\)

Hints

- Use related multiplication facts instead of guessing. - Look for facts that make \(6\) or \(8\) as the division answer. - Check every division fact before placing it in a group.

Solution

1. \(42 \div 7 = 6\) and \(54 \div 9 = 6\). 2. \(48 \div 6 = 8\) and \(64 \div 8 = 8\).

Answer

Answer \(6\): \(42\div7\), \(54\div9\) Answer \(8\): \(48\div6\), \(64\div8\)
Division fact fluency 14
Without a calculator, decide which is greater: \(63\div7\) or \(64\div8\). Explain using multiplication facts.

Hints

- Turn each answer into a multiplication question. - Which multiplication facts make \(63\) and \(64\)? - Compare the two whole-number answers after finding them.

Solution

1. Since \(7 \times 9 = 63\), \(63 \div 7 = 9\). 2. Since \(8 \times 8 = 64\), \(64 \div 8 = 8\). 3. Therefore, \(63 \div 7\) is greater by \(1\).

Answer

\(63 \div 7\) is greater. The answers are \(9\) and \(8\).
Division fact fluency 15
Write three division facts with answer \(5\): one that divides by \(4\), one that divides by \(7\), and one that divides by \(9\). Then check each fact with multiplication.

Hints

- Keep the quotient fixed while changing the divisor. - Find the dividend from the related multiplication fact. - Write a separate multiplication check for each division fact.

Solution

1. The first fact is \(20\div4=5\), checked by \(4\times5=20\). 2. The second fact is \(35\div7=5\), checked by \(7\times5=35\). 3. The third fact is \(45\div9=5\), checked by \(9\times5=45\).

Answer

\(20\div4=5\); check: \(4\times5=20\). \(35\div7=5\); check: \(7\times5=35\). \(45\div9=5\); check: \(9\times5=45\).
Division fact fluency 16
The same number is the answer to \(32\div4\), \(40\div5\), and \(48\div6\). Find that number. Check two of the divisions by multiplying.

Hints

- Use known multiplication facts to find each quotient. - For each check, multiply the divisor by your answer.

Solution

1. \(32\div4=8\), \(40\div5=8\), and \(48\div6=8\). 2. The common answer is \(8\). 3. For instance, \(4\times8=32\) and \(6\times8=48\) check two of the divisions.

Answer

All three quotients are \(8\). Checks include \(4\times8=32\) and \(6\times8=48\).
Division fact fluency 17
What number is each input divided by? Complete the table. Then add your own example in the last row. <table> <tr><th colspan="2">\(\div \square\)</th></tr> <tr><td>\(18\)</td><td>\(2\)</td></tr> <tr><td>\(54\)</td><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td><td>\(9\)</td></tr> <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr> </table>

Hints

- What number makes \(18\div\square=2\) true? - Use that same number in every row. - For a row with a missing starting number, use multiplication to work backward.

Solution

1. Since \(18 \div 9 = 2\), the number you divide by is \(9\). 2. Complete the second row: \(54 \div 9 = 6\). 3. Work backward in the third row: \(9 \times 9 = 81\), so \(81 \div 9 = 9\). 4. Any correct division fact with number you divide by \(9\) works in the last row, such as \(90 \div 9 = 10\).

Answer

The rule is divide by \(9\). The missing entries are \(6\) and \(81\). One possible final row is \(90\) and \(10\), because \(90 \div 9 = 10\).
Division fact fluency 18
Find the amount being subtracted each time. Use \(n\) for the unknown amount. a) Starting at \(36\), subtract the same amount \(4\) times to reach \(0\). What is \(n\)? b) Starting at \(63\), subtract the same amount \(7\) times to reach \(0\). What is \(n\)?

Hints

- Repeated subtraction to \(0\) can be represented by equal groups. - In each part, the number of subtractions is one factor and \(n\) is the other factor. - Use division to find the missing number from the starting total.

Solution

1. In part a, the repeated amount is the missing number in \(4 \times n=36\). Since \(36 \div 4=9\), \(n=9\). 2. In part b, the repeated amount is the missing number in \(7 \times n=63\). Since \(63 \div 7=9\), \(n=9\).

Answer

a) \(n=9\) b) \(n=9\)
Division fact fluency 19
Ari checked four division facts: \(72 \div 8 = 9\) \(54 \div 6 = 9\) \(49 \div 7 = 6\) \(40 \div 5 = 8\) Exactly one check is wrong. Find it, correct it, and verify the correction with multiplication.

Hints

- Check each division answer with multiplication. - Work through all four facts one at a time. - Exactly one equation needs to change.

Solution

1. The incorrect equation is \(49 \div 7 = 6\). 2. Since \(7 \times 7 = 49\), the correct equation is \(49 \div 7 = 7\). 3. The other three equations are correct.

Answer

The wrong fact is \(49 \div 7 = 6\). It should be \(49 \div 7 = 7\), because \(7 \times 7 = 49\).
