Use the standard division algorithm to calculate each quotient. a) \(732 \div 6\) b) \(912 \div 4\) c) \(525 \div 5\)

Hints

- Divide from left to right, one place at a time. - Carry each remainder to the next place. - Write a zero in the quotient when the divisor does not fit into a place after a nonzero quotient digit has already been written.

Solution

1. For a), \(7 \div 6=1\) with remainder \(1\). Bring down the \(3\) to make \(13\). Then \(13 \div 6=2\) with remainder \(1\). Bring down the \(2\) to make \(12\), and \(12 \div 6=2\). Therefore, \(732 \div 6=122\). 2. For b), \(9 \div 4=2\) with remainder \(1\). Bring down the \(1\) to make \(11\). Then \(11 \div 4=2\) with remainder \(3\). Bring down the \(2\) to make \(32\), and \(32 \div 4=8\). Therefore, \(912 \div 4=228\). 3. For c), \(5 \div 5=1\). Bring down the \(2\). Since \(5\) goes into \(2\) zero times, write \(0\) in the tens place of the quotient. Bring down the final \(5\) to make \(25\), and \(25 \div 5=5\). Therefore, \(525 \div 5=105\).

Solution

1. For a), \(8 \div 8=1\). Bring down the \(4\). Since \(8\) goes into \(4\) zero times, write \(0\) in the tens place of the quotient. Bring down the \(9\) to make \(49\). Then \(49 \div 8=6\) with remainder \(1\). Therefore, \(849 \div 8=106\text{ R }1\). Check: \(8 \times 106+1=849\). 2. For b), begin with \(67\) because \(6<7\). Then \(67 \div 7=9\) with remainder \(4\). Bring down the final \(4\) to make \(44\). Then \(44 \div 7=6\) with remainder \(2\). Therefore, \(674 \div 7=96\text{ R }2\). Check: \(7 \times 96+2=674\).

Answer

a) \(106\text{ R }1\) b) \(96\text{ R }2\)

1. Divide the total dough by the dough needed for one roll: \(80 \div 9 = 8\) remainder \(8\). 2. Check the amount used: \(8 \times 9\,\text{oz} = 72\,\text{oz}\). 3. The remaining dough is \(80\,\text{oz} - 72\,\text{oz} = 8\,\text{oz}\). 4. Since \(8\,\text{oz}\) is less than \(9\,\text{oz}\), it is not enough for another whole roll.

Answer

The baker can make \(8\) whole rolls, with \(8\,\text{oz}\) of dough left over.

A beverage company has \(432\) bottles of juice. How many cases are needed if each case holds \(6\) bottles? How many cases are needed if each case holds \(8\) bottles instead?

Hints

- Solve two separate division problems. - Break \(432\) into compatible numbers for each divisor. - Check whether the larger case size gives more or fewer cases.

Solution

1. For cases of \(6\), divide: \(432 \div 6\). Break apart \(432 = 420 + 12\), so \(420 \div 6 = 70\) and \(12 \div 6 = 2\). Therefore, \(70 + 2 = 72\). 2. For cases of \(8\), divide: \(432 \div 8\). Break apart \(432 = 400 + 32\), so \(400 \div 8 = 50\) and \(32 \div 8 = 4\). Therefore, \(50 + 4 = 54\).

Answer

The company needs \(72\) cases that hold \(6\) bottles or \(54\) cases that hold \(8\) bottles.

Choose an efficient method for each division problem—mental math, partial quotients, or the standard algorithm—and find the quotient. a) \(560 \div 7\) b) \(844 \div 4\) c) \(1344 \div 6\)

Hints

- First decide whether a related basic fact makes the quotient easy to find mentally. - Try breaking the dividend into hundreds, tens, and ones. - Use the standard algorithm when the partial divisions are difficult to organize mentally.

Solution

1. For a), use mental math: \(56 \div 7 = 8\), so \(560 \div 7 = 80\). 2. For b), use partial quotients: \(800 \div 4 = 200\), \(40 \div 4 = 10\), and \(4 \div 4 = 1\). Then \(200 + 10 + 1 = 211\). 3. For c), use the standard division algorithm. Since \(1<6\), begin with \(13\). Divide \(13 \div 6 = 2\text{ R }1\). Bring down the next \(4\): \(14 \div 6 = 2\text{ R }2\). Bring down the last \(4\): \(24 \div 6 = 4\). Therefore, \(1344 \div 6 = 224\).

Answer

a) \(80\) (mental math) b) \(211\) (partial quotients) c) \(224\) (standard algorithm)

Dividing \(8008\) does not always give a remainder of \(0\). a) What is exactly one eighth of \(8008\)? b) Can \(8008\) marbles be shared equally among \(3\) children with none left over? Justify your answer with division. c) What remainder results when \(8008\) is divided by \(6\)?

Hints

- A nonzero remainder means an equal sharing leaves some objects unassigned. - Use the standard division algorithm one place at a time. - Check that each remainder is less than the divisor.

Solution

1. For a), \(8008 \div 8=1001\). 2. For b), \(8008 \div 3=2669\text{ R }1\). Because the remainder is \(1\), an equal distribution with none left over is not possible. 3. For c), \(8008 \div 6=1334\text{ R }4\), so the remainder is \(4\).

Answer

a) \(1001\) b) No. \(8008 \div 3=2669\text{ R }1\), so one marble is left over. c) The remainder is \(4\).

For each division problem, decide whether mental math, partial quotients, or the standard algorithm is most efficient. Then find the quotient. a) \(4500 \div 9\) b) \(4599 \div 9\) c) \(4218 \div 6\) d) \(4832 \div 8\)

Hints

- Look for parts of each dividend that divide evenly by the divisor. - Pay attention to place values where the quotient may need a zero. - Use the standard algorithm when a convenient decomposition is not easy to see.

Solution

1. For a), use mental math with the basic fact \(45 \div 9 = 5\) and place value: \(4500 \div 9 = 500\). 2. For b), use partial quotients: \(4599 \div 9 = 4500 \div 9 + 99 \div 9 = 500 + 11 = 511\). 3. For c), use the standard algorithm. Divide \(42 \div 6 = 7\). Bring down \(1\); since \(1<6\), write \(0\) in the tens place and carry the remainder \(1\). Bring down \(8\) to make \(18\), and \(18 \div 6 = 3\). Therefore, \(4218 \div 6 = 703\). 4. For d), use partial quotients: \(4832 \div 8 = 4800 \div 8 + 32 \div 8 = 600 + 4 = 604\).

Hints

- Choose a nearby number that is easy to divide by the divisor. - Then use the standard division algorithm for the exact quotient. - Compare each exact result with its estimate.

Solution

1. For a), use the compatible number \(1680\): \(1638 \div 7\approx1680 \div 7=240\). For the exact quotient, begin with \(16\). Then \(16 \div 7=2\) with remainder \(2\). Bring down the \(3\) to make \(23\), and \(23 \div 7=3\) with remainder \(2\). Bring down the \(8\) to make \(28\), and \(28 \div 7=4\). Therefore, \(1638 \div 7=234\). 2. For b), use the compatible number \(2250\): \(2304 \div 9\approx2250 \div 9=250\). For the exact quotient, begin with \(23\). Then \(23 \div 9=2\) with remainder \(5\). Bring down the \(0\) to make \(50\), and \(50 \div 9=5\) with remainder \(5\). Bring down the \(4\) to make \(54\), and \(54 \div 9=6\). Therefore, \(2304 \div 9=256\).

Hints

- Align each division carefully in the standard algorithm. - Compare consecutive dividends. - Divide the change in the dividend by \(4\). - Look for that change in the quotients.

Solution

1. Part a: \(24\div 4=6\), so write \(6\) in the hundreds place. Since \(3<4\), write \(0\) in the tens place. Bring down \(6\) to make \(36\), and \(36\div 4=9\). Thus, \(2436\div 4=609\). 2. Part b: \(28\div 4=7\). Since \(3<4\), write \(0\), then use \(36\div 4=9\). Thus, \(2836\div 4=709\). 3. Part c: \(32\div 4=8\). Since \(3<4\), write \(0\), then use \(36\div 4=9\). Thus, \(3236\div 4=809\). 4. Part d: \(36\div 4=9\). Since \(3<4\), write \(0\), then use \(36\div 4=9\). Thus, \(3636\div 4=909\). 5. The dividend increases by \(400\) each time. Since \(400\div 4=100\), the quotient increases by \(100\) each time.

Answer

a) \(609\) b) \(709\) c) \(809\) d) \(909\) Each increase of \(400\) in the dividend increases the quotient by \(100\).

Hints

- Use the standard division algorithm for each quotient. - Compare the divisors from one part to the next. - Compare each quotient with the previous quotient. - Use multiplication to check the last quotient.

Solution

1. Part a: \(5\div 2=2\) remainder \(1\); \(11\div 2=5\) remainder \(1\); \(18\div 2=9\); and \(4\div 2=2\). Therefore, \(5184\div 2=2592\). 2. Part b: \(5\div 4=1\) remainder \(1\); \(11\div 4=2\) remainder \(3\); \(38\div 4=9\) remainder \(2\); and \(24\div 4=6\). Therefore, \(5184\div 4=1296\). 3. Part c: Since \(5<8\), use \(51\). Then \(51\div 8=6\) remainder \(3\); \(38\div 8=4\) remainder \(6\); and \(64\div 8=8\). Therefore, \(5184\div 8=648\). 4. Check part c: \(648\times 8=5184\). 5. The dividend stays fixed while the divisor doubles each time, so the quotient is halved each time.

Answer

a) \(2592\) b) \(1296\) c) \(648\) Check: \(648\times 8=5184\). When the divisor doubles and the dividend stays fixed, the quotient is halved.

Use the standard division algorithm. Which division has the greater remainder? a) \(1427 \div 5\) b) \(9835 \div 9\)

Hints

- Complete both divisions through the final remainder. - Compare only the remainders. - A remainder must always be less than its divisor.

Solution

1. For a), begin with \(14\) because \(1<5\). Then \(14 \div 5=2\) with remainder \(4\). Bring down the \(2\) to make \(42\). Then \(42 \div 5=8\) with remainder \(2\). Bring down the \(7\) to make \(27\). Then \(27 \div 5=5\) with remainder \(2\). Therefore, \(1427 \div 5=285\text{ R }2\). 2. For b), \(9 \div 9=1\). Bring down the \(8\). Since \(9\) goes into \(8\) zero times, write \(0\) in the hundreds place of the quotient. Bring down the \(3\) to make \(83\). Then \(83 \div 9=9\) with remainder \(2\). Bring down the \(5\) to make \(25\). Then \(25 \div 9=2\) with remainder \(7\). Therefore, \(9835 \div 9=1092\text{ R }7\). 3. Since \(7>2\), part b) has the greater remainder.

Answer

a) \(285\text{ R }2\) b) \(1092\text{ R }7\) Part b) has the greater remainder.

Hints

- Calculate the divisions in order within each part. - Track the quotient and remainder separately. - Remember that a remainder must be less than the divisor. - Notice what happens when another item completes a full group.

Solution

1. Part a gives \(70\), \(70\text{ R }1\), and \(70\text{ R }2\). 2. Part b gives \(52\text{ R }2\), \(52\text{ R }3\), and \(53\). 3. Part c gives \(42\), \(42\text{ R }1\), and \(42\text{ R }2\). 4. As the dividend increases by \(1\), the remainder increases by \(1\). When the remainder would equal the divisor, it becomes one more whole group, so the quotient increases by \(1\) and the remainder returns to \(0\).

Answer

a) \(70,70\text{ R }1,70\text{ R }2\) b) \(52\text{ R }2,52\text{ R }3,53\) c) \(42,42\text{ R }1,42\text{ R }2\) Increasing the dividend by \(1\) usually increases the remainder by \(1\). When the remainder reaches the divisor, the quotient increases by \(1\) and the remainder returns to \(0\).

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. Complete the missing values in the table. <table> <tr><td><b>Multiplication</b></td><td>\(417\times 3=\square\)</td><td>\(\square\times 5=1345\)</td></tr> <tr><td><b>Inverse operation</b></td><td>\(\square\div 3=417\)</td><td>\(1345\div 5=\square\)</td></tr> </table>

Hints

- Look for the same three numbers in each column. - Solving the division equation in the second column gives the missing factor above it. - In a related division equation, the product becomes the dividend.

Solution

1. In the first column, \(417\times 3=1251\). The related division equation is \(1251\div 3=417\). 2. In the second column, divide to find the missing factor: \(1345\div 5=269\). 3. Use that value in the related multiplication equation: \(269\times 5=1345\).

Answer

First column: \(417\times 3=1251\) and \(1251\div 3=417\). Second column: \(269\times 5=1345\) and \(1345\div 5=269\).

Use the standard division algorithm. a) \(816 \div 4\) b) \(921 \div 3\) c) Both quotients have a zero in the tens place. Explain why.

Hints

- Follow the place values from left to right. - Ask how many times the divisor fits into the amount at each stage. - Preserve the quotient place with a zero when the answer is zero times.

Solution

1. For a), \(8 \div 4=2\). Bring down the \(1\). Since \(4\) goes into \(1\) zero times, write \(0\) in the tens place of the quotient. Bring down the \(6\) to make \(16\), and \(16 \div 4=4\). Therefore, \(816 \div 4=204\). 2. For b), \(9 \div 3=3\). Bring down the \(2\). Since \(3\) goes into \(2\) zero times, write \(0\) in the tens place of the quotient. Bring down the \(1\) to make \(21\), and \(21 \div 3=7\). Therefore, \(921 \div 3=307\). 3. In each division, the digit brought down for the tens place is less than the divisor. The divisor fits zero times in that place, so a zero must be written in the tens place of the quotient before continuing.

Answer

a) \(204\) b) \(307\) c) The zero is required because \(1<4\) and \(2<3\), so the divisor fits zero times in the tens place.

A student calculated \(4836\div 6\) and got \(86\). a) Use the standard division algorithm to find the correct quotient. b) What mistake did the student probably make? c) Use the standard division algorithm to calculate \(7056\div 7\).

Hints

- Check the student’s quotient with multiplication. - Bring down and divide every digit of the dividend. - Write a zero in the quotient when a partial dividend is smaller than the divisor.

Solution

1. Part a: Since \(4<6\), use the first two digits. \(48\div 6=8\), so write \(8\) in the hundreds place. Bring down \(3\). Because \(3<6\), write \(0\) in the tens place. Bring down \(6\), and \(36\div 6=6\). Therefore, \(4836\div 6=806\). 2. The student probably omitted the zero in the tens place and wrote \(86\) instead of \(806\). 3. Part c: \(7\div 7=1\), so write \(1\) in the thousands place. Bring down \(0\) and write \(0\) in the hundreds place. Bring down \(5\) and write \(0\) in the tens place because \(5<7\). Bring down \(6\), and \(56\div 7=8\). Therefore, \(7056\div 7=1008\).

Answer

a) \(806\) b) The student omitted the zero in the tens place. c) \(1008\)
5193674
Max says that \(2015\div 5=43\). 1. Use an estimate with rounded numbers to show that Max’s answer must be incorrect. 2. Use the standard division algorithm to find the correct quotient. 3. Check your result with multiplication.

Hints

- Estimate how many digits the quotient should have. - In the standard algorithm, write a zero in the quotient when a partial dividend is smaller than the divisor. - Multiply the quotient by \(5\) to check your result.

Solution

1. Round \(2015\) to \(2000\). Then \(2000\div 5=400\). Since \(43\) is much smaller than \(400\), Max’s answer cannot be correct. 2. Begin with \(20\) because \(2<5\). Then \(20\div 5=4\). Bring down the \(1\). Since \(5\) goes into \(1\) zero times, write \(0\) in the tens place of the quotient. Bring down the \(5\) to make \(15\), and \(15\div 5=3\). Therefore, \(2015\div 5=403\). 3. Check: \(403\times 5=2015\).

Answer

1. One estimate is \(2000\div 5=400\), so \(43\) is much too small. 2. The correct quotient is \(403\). 3. Check: \(403\times 5=2015\).
5193744
The product of an unknown number and \(8\) is \(8136\). a) Use the standard division algorithm to find the unknown number. b) Check your result with multiplication.

Hints

- Divide the product by the known factor to find the missing factor. - Use multiplication to check a division result. - Keep track of each remainder as you divide from left to right.

Solution

1. Divide the product by the known factor: \(8136\div 8\). 2. Since \(8\div 8=1\), write \(1\). Bring down the \(1\). Since \(8\) goes into \(1\) zero times, write \(0\) in the hundreds place of the quotient. Bring down the \(3\) to make \(13\), and \(13\div 8=1\) with remainder \(5\). Bring down the \(6\) to make \(56\), and \(56\div 8=7\). Therefore, \(8136\div 8=1017\). 3. Check by multiplication: \(1017\times 8=8136\). The product matches the given value.

Answer

a) The unknown number is \(1017\). b) Check: \(1017\times 8=8136\).

Use related facts to solve. a) Evaluate \(450 \div 5\). Which related fact helps? b) Without calculating exactly, is \(450 \div 9\) greater than or less than \(450 \div 5\)? Explain. c) Evaluate \(450 \div 9\).

Hints

- Use related facts with \(45\). - For the same dividend, compare how the divisor affects the quotient. - Check each quotient with multiplication.

Solution

1. a) The related fact \(45 \div 5 = 9\) gives \(450 \div 5 = 90\). 2. b) With the same dividend, dividing by the greater divisor gives the smaller quotient, so \(450 \div 9 < 450 \div 5\). 3. c) The related fact \(45 \div 9 = 5\) gives \(450 \div 9 = 50\).

Answer

a) \(90\); related fact: \(45 \div 5 = 9\) b) Less than, because the divisor is greater. c) \(50\)

Hints

- Use multiplication and addition to work backward when the dividend is missing. - When the divisor is missing, subtract the remainder first. - A remainder is the difference between the dividend and the product of the quotient and divisor.

Solution

1. For part a, multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder: \(7 \times 6 + 3 = 42 + 3 = 45\). 2. For part b, subtract the remainder: \(38 - 3 = 35\). Then divide by the quotient: \(35 \div 5 = 7\), so the missing divisor is \(7\). 3. For part c, \(6 \times 8 = 48\), and \(50 - 48 = 2\), so the missing remainder is \(2\).

Find \(744 \div 8\) using partial quotients. Show two different ways to break \(744\) into two or three numbers that are easy to divide by \(8\).

Hints

- Find a large multiple of \(8\) close to \(744\). - Choose a different large multiple of \(8\) for the second method. - Make sure every part is divisible by \(8\).

Solution

1. One decomposition is \(744 = 720 + 24\). Then \(720 \div 8 = 90\) and \(24 \div 8 = 3\), so the quotient is \(93\). 2. Another decomposition is \(744 = 640 + 104\). Then \(640 \div 8 = 80\) and \(104 \div 8 = 13\). The second partial quotient can be found from \(104 = 80 + 24\): \(80 \div 8 = 10\) and \(24 \div 8 = 3\). Thus \(80 + 13 = 93\).

Answer

The quotient is \(93\). One method uses \(720 \div 8 = 90\) and \(24 \div 8 = 3\). Another method uses \(640 \div 8 = 80\) and \(104 \div 8 = 13\).

Compare each pair of quotients. Write \(<\), \(>\), or \(=\) in the box. Briefly justify your answer to part c). a) \(400 \div 5 \quad \square \quad 400 \div 8\) b) \(240 \div 4 \quad \square \quad 480 \div 4\) c) \(180 \div 2 \quad \square \quad 360 \div 4\)

Hints

- Look for what stays the same in each pair. - With the same dividend, think about how the divisor affects the quotient. - With the same divisor, think about how the dividend affects the quotient. - In part c), compare how both numbers change.

Solution

1. In part a), the dividend is the same. Dividing by the smaller divisor gives the greater quotient: \(400 \div 5 = 80\) and \(400 \div 8 = 50\), so \(80 > 50\). 2. In part b), the divisor is the same. The greater dividend gives the greater quotient: \(240 \div 4 = 60\) and \(480 \div 4 = 120\), so \(60 < 120\). 3. In part c), both the dividend and divisor are doubled: \(180 \times 2 = 360\) and \(2 \times 2 = 4\). The quotient stays the same, and \(180 \div 2 = 360 \div 4 = 90\).

Answer

a) \(>\) b) \(<\) c) \(=\); both the dividend and divisor are doubled, so the quotient stays the same.

Three students solve \(76 \div 9\). Lucas says, “The result is \(8\) remainder \(4\).” Mia says, “The result is \(7\) remainder \(13\).” Sophie says, “The result is \(8\) remainder \(3\).” Who is correct? Briefly explain why the other results cannot be correct.

Hints

- Check each result by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder. - A valid remainder must be less than the divisor. - Make sure each check equals the original dividend.

Solution

1. Lucas: \(8 \times 9 + 4 = 72 + 4 = 76\), and \(4 < 9\). His result is correct. 2. Mia: \(7 \times 9 + 13 = 76\), but \(13 > 9\). The remainder is not less than the divisor, so another group of \(9\) must be included in the quotient. 3. Sophie: \(8 \times 9 + 3 = 75\), not \(76\). Her result does not reconstruct the dividend.

Answer

Lucas is correct. Mia is incorrect because the remainder \(13\) is greater than the divisor \(9\). Sophie is incorrect because \(8 \times 9 + 3 = 75\), not \(76\).
5213284
Maya claims, “When I divide a four-digit number by \(6\), the quotient always has \(3\) digits.” a) Give an example for which Maya’s claim is true. b) Give a counterexample for which the quotient has \(4\) digits. c) Complete the rule: The quotient of a four-digit number divided by \(6\) has \(4\) digits whenever the thousands digit is ...

Hints

- Compare the thousands digit with the divisor \(6\). - Decide whether division begins with the thousands digit or with the first two digits. - Choose one four-digit dividend on each side of that threshold.

Solution

1. For a), choose a four-digit number with a thousands digit less than \(6\), such as \(1200\). Then \(1200 \div 6=200\), which has \(3\) digits. 2.

a) Use the standard division algorithm to find \(1344\div 6\). b) Find \(2688\div 6\) without repeating the full division algorithm. Explain how part a) helps.

Hints

- Complete part a) with the standard division algorithm. - Compare \(2688\) with \(1344\). - Decide how the same scale factor affects the quotient when the divisor is unchanged.

Solution

1. Part a: Since \(1<6\), use \(13\). Then \(13\div 6=2\) remainder \(1\). Bring down \(4\): \(14\div 6=2\) remainder \(2\). Bring down the final \(4\): \(24\div 6=4\). Therefore, \(1344\div 6=224\). 2. The dividend \(2688\) is twice \(1344\). 3. With the divisor unchanged, doubling the dividend doubles the quotient, so \(224\times 2=448\).

Answer

a) \(224\) b) \(448\). The dividend is doubled while the divisor stays the same, so the quotient is doubled.

Two classes collect paper for a school recycling project. Ms. Green's class collected \(840\,\text{lb}\) and divides it equally among \(4\) containers. Mr. Lee's class collected \(750\,\text{lb}\) and divides it equally among \(3\) containers. Which class has more paper in each container?

Hints

- First find how many pounds of paper are in one container for each class. - Break each dividend into hundreds and tens that are easy to divide by the given divisor. - Compare the two amounts per container.

Solution

1. Find the amount in each container for Ms. Green's class: \(840\,\text{lb} \div 4 = (800\,\text{lb} \div 4) + (40\,\text{lb} \div 4) = 200\,\text{lb} + 10\,\text{lb} = 210\,\text{lb}\). 2. Find the amount in each container for Mr. Lee's class: \(750\,\text{lb} \div 3 = (600\,\text{lb} \div 3) + (150\,\text{lb} \div 3) = 200\,\text{lb} + 50\,\text{lb} = 250\,\text{lb}\). 3. Compare the amounts: \(250\,\text{lb} > 210\,\text{lb}\).

Answer

Mr. Lee's class has more paper in each container, with \(250\,\text{lb}\) compared with \(210\,\text{lb}\) for Ms. Green's class.

Fill in each box so the equation is true. a) \(324 \div 4=\Box \div 9\) b) \(735 \div 7=525 \div \Box\)

Hints

- First calculate the side with no missing number. - Both sides of an equation must have the same value. - Use multiplication or division as the inverse operation to find the missing number.

Solution

1. For a), \(324 \div 4=81\). The missing dividend must satisfy \(\Box \div 9=81\), so \(81 \times 9=729\). 2. For b), \(735 \div 7=105\). The missing divisor must satisfy \(525 \div \Box=105\), so \(525 \div 105=5\).

Answer

a) \(729\) b) \(5\)

Divide. Write each result as a quotient with a remainder, such as \(13\text{ R }2\). If the remainder is \(0\), write only the quotient. a) \(148 \div 6\) b) \(255 \div 5\) c) \(314 \div 8\) d) \(1000 \div 7\)

Hints

- Find the greatest multiple of the divisor that does not exceed the dividend. - Subtract that multiple from the dividend to find the remainder. - Check that the remainder is less than the divisor.

Solution

1. \(6 \times 24 = 144\), and \(148 - 144 = 4\). Therefore, \(148 \div 6 = 24\text{ R }4\). 2. \(255 \div 5 = 51\) with no remainder. 3. \(8 \times 39 = 312\), and \(314 - 312 = 2\). Therefore, \(314 \div 8 = 39\text{ R }2\). 4. \(7 \times 142 = 994\), and \(1000 - 994 = 6\). Therefore, \(1000 \div 7 = 142\text{ R }6\).

Answer

a) \(24\text{ R }4\) b) \(51\) c) \(39\text{ R }2\) d) \(142\text{ R }6\)

Evaluate every division and identify the ones with remainder \(3\). a) \(59 \div 8\) b) \(115 \div 4\) c) \(83 \div 5\) d) \(200 \div 6\)

Hints

- Find the quotient and remainder for each division. - A remainder of \(3\) means the dividend is \(3\) greater than a multiple of the divisor. - Verify that each remainder is less than its divisor.

Solution

1. \(59 \div 8 = 7\text{ R }3\) because \(8 \times 7 = 56\). 2. \(115 \div 4 = 28\text{ R }3\) because \(4 \times 28 = 112\). 3. \(83 \div 5 = 16\text{ R }3\) because \(5 \times 16 = 80\). 4. \(200 \div 6 = 33\text{ R }2\) because \(6 \times 33 = 198\). 5. Parts a), b), and c) have remainder \(3\).

Answer

a) \(7\text{ R }3\) b) \(28\text{ R }3\) c) \(16\text{ R }3\) d) \(33\text{ R }2\) Parts a), b), and c) have remainder \(3\).

Pack \(29\) marbles into bags of \(4\). Use the array to find how many full bags can be made. Are there enough marbles left for another full bag?
Figure for problem 537363

Hints

- Count only complete groups of \(4\). - Compare the number left over with the bag size of \(4\).

Solution

1. Seven full bags use \(7 \times 4 = 28\) marbles. 2. The number left over is \(29 - 28 = 1\). 3. Another full bag would need \(4\) marbles, so \(1\) marble is not enough. Therefore, \(29 \div 4 = 7\) remainder \(1\).

Answer

There are \(7\) full bags and \(1\) marble left over. There are not enough marbles for another full bag.

Noah looks at the dot array and writes \(45 \div 7 = 6\) remainder \(2\). Find his error and correct the equation.
Figure for problem 537367

Hints

- Calculate \(6 \times 7\). - Subtract that product from \(45\).

Solution

1. Six full groups of \(7\) contain \(6 \times 7 = 42\) dots. 2. The number left over is \(45 - 42 = 3\), not \(2\). 3. The correct equation is \(45 \div 7 = 6\) remainder \(3\).

Answer

The correct equation is \(45 \div 7 = 6\) remainder \(3\). Noah made the remainder \(1\) too small.

The array shows \(50\) dots arranged in rows of \(8\). Someone claims the remainder could be \(9\). Check the claim and write the correct division equation with a remainder.
Figure for problem 537368

Hints

- Find the greatest multiple of \(8\) that does not exceed \(50\). - Compare any proposed remainder with the divisor.

Solution

1. Six full rows contain \(6 \times 8 = 48\) dots. 2. The number left over is \(50 - 48 = 2\), so \(50 \div 8 = 6\) remainder \(2\). 3. A remainder of \(9\) is impossible because a remainder must be less than the divisor \(8\). A remainder of \(9\) would contain another full group of \(8\).

Answer

\(50 \div 8 = 6\) remainder \(2\). A remainder of \(9\) is impossible because it is greater than the divisor \(8\).

Pack \(60\) lunch boxes into cartons that hold \(8\) lunch boxes each. How many full cartons can be packed? How many more lunch boxes are needed to fill one additional carton?
Figure for problem 537384

Hints

- Find the greatest multiple of \(8\) that does not exceed \(60\). - Compare the remainder with \(8\).

Solution

1. Seven full cartons hold \(7 \times 8 = 56\) lunch boxes. 2. The number left over is \(60 - 56 = 4\). 3. One carton holds \(8\), so the number needed to fill another carton is \(8 - 4 = 4\).

Answer

There are \(7\) full cartons. Four lunch boxes are left over, and \(4\) more are needed to fill another carton.

Share \(56\) stickers equally among \(9\) children. How many stickers does each child receive, and how many stickers are left for the classroom supply box?
Figure for problem 537386

Hints

- Compare \(9 \times 6\) and \(9 \times 7\) with \(56\). - Use the greatest product that does not exceed \(56\).

Solution

1. Giving each child \(6\) stickers uses \(9 \times 6 = 54\) stickers. 2. The number left over is \(56 - 54 = 2\). 3. Therefore, \(56 \div 9 = 6\) remainder \(2\).

Answer

Each child receives \(6\) stickers, and \(2\) stickers are left over.

Consider these three lengths: 1) \(105.30\,\text{m}\) 2) \(210.60\,\text{m}\) 3) \(315.90\,\text{m}\) Convert each length to centimeters and then divide each value by \(9\). What pattern do you notice in the three quotients?

Hints

- Convert all three measurements to centimeters first. - Divide each converted value by \(9\). - Compare how the original measurements and the quotients are scaled.

Solution

1. Convert to centimeters: \(105.30\,\text{m}=10{,}530\,\text{cm}\), \(210.60\,\text{m}=21{,}060\,\text{cm}\), and \(315.90\,\text{m}=31{,}590\,\text{cm}\). 2. Divide: \(10{,}530\,\text{cm} \div 9=1170\,\text{cm}\), \(21{,}060\,\text{cm} \div 9=2340\,\text{cm}\), and \(31{,}590\,\text{cm} \div 9=3510\,\text{cm}\). 3. The second quotient is twice the first, and the third quotient is three times the first, matching the scale factors of the original lengths.

Answer

1) \(1170\,\text{cm}\) 2) \(2340\,\text{cm}\) 3) \(3510\,\text{cm}\) The second quotient is twice the first, and the third quotient is three times the first.

Investigate whether whole-number quotients with remainders can always be added separately. 1) Find \((25 + 11) \div 6\). 2) Divide \(25\) by \(6\) and \(11\) by \(6\), recording each whole-number quotient and remainder. Then add only the two whole-number quotients. 3) Compare the results and explain what happens.

Hints

- Record both the quotient and remainder for each separate division. - Add the remainders as well as comparing the quotients. - Check whether the combined remainders make another full group of \(6\).

Solution

1. \((25 + 11) \div 6 = 36 \div 6 = 6\). 2. \(25 \div 6 = 4\) remainder \(1\), and \(11 \div 6 = 1\) remainder \(5\). The whole-number quotients add to \(4 + 1 = 5\). 3. The results differ because the remainders combine to make another group of \(6\). Therefore, adding only the separate whole-number quotients does not always give the quotient of the combined dividend.

Answer

The combined quotient is \(6\), but the separate whole-number quotients add to \(5\). The remainders \(1\) and \(5\) form one additional group of \(6\).

Estimate each quotient. Then divide using the standard algorithm. 1) \(4656 \div 8\) 2) \(438{,}204 \div 6\)

Hints

- For each estimate, choose a nearby dividend that is easy to divide by the divisor. - In the standard algorithm, write a zero in the quotient when the current place value is smaller than the divisor. - Check each result by multiplying the quotient by the divisor.

Solution

1. Estimate: \(4800 \div 8 = 600\). Using the standard algorithm, \(4656 \div 8 = 582\). 2. Estimate: \(420{,}000 \div 6 = 70{,}000\). Using the standard algorithm, \(438{,}204 \div 6 = 73{,}034\).

Answer

1) Estimate: \(600\); exact quotient: \(582\) 2) Estimate: \(70{,}000\); exact quotient: \(73{,}034\)
