Continue each pattern.
a) \(63 \div 9 = 7\), \(630 \div 9 = 70\), \(6300 \div 9 = \dots\), \(63{,}000 \div 9 = \dots\)
b) \(63 \div 7 = 9\), \(630 \div 7 = 90\), \(6300 \div 7 = \dots\), \(63{,}000 \div 7 = \dots\)
c) \(630 \div 10 = 63\), \(6300 \div 10 = 630\), \(63{,}000 \div 10 = \dots\), \(630{,}000 \div 10 = \dots\)
Hints
- Compare how the dividends change from one equation to the next.
- How does the quotient change each time?
- Look for a basic multiplication or division fact inside the larger numbers.
Solution
1. In each part, the dividend is multiplied by \(10\) while the divisor stays the same, so the quotient is also multiplied by \(10\).
2. For a), \(6300 \div 9 = 700\) and \(63{,}000 \div 9 = 7000\).
3. For b), \(6300 \div 7 = 900\) and \(63{,}000 \div 7 = 9000\).
4. For c), \(63{,}000 \div 10 = 6300\) and \(630{,}000 \div 10 = 63{,}000\).
Answer
a) \(700\), \(7000\)
b) \(900\), \(9000\)
c) \(6300\), \(63{,}000\)
