Continue each division sequence with two more expressions. a) \(800 \div 80\), \(720 \div 80\), \(640 \div 80\), ..., ... b) \(800 \div 40\), \(720 \div 40\), \(640 \div 40\), ..., ... Compare the quotients in b) with the matching quotients in a).

Hints

- Determine how the dividend changes each time. - Compare the divisors \(80\) and \(40\). - Calculate the given quotients before predicting the relationship. - Think about what happens to a quotient when the divisor is smaller.

Solution

1. The dividends decrease by \(80\), so a) continues with \(560 \div 80 = 7\) and \(480 \div 80 = 6\). 2. Sequence b) uses the same dividends and continues with \(560 \div 40 = 14\) and \(480 \div 40 = 12\). 3.

Study this division set. \(600 \div 10 = 60\) \(600 \div 20 = 30\) \(600 \div 30 = 20\) \(600 \div 60 = 10\) Describe what happens to the quotient as the divisor increases. What do you notice when comparing divisors \(10\) and \(20\) and their quotients?

Hints

- Imagine sharing \(600\) objects among more equal groups. - Compare \(20\) with \(10\). - Compare \(30\) with \(60\).

Solution

1. The dividend stays \(600\). As the divisor increases, the quotient decreases. 2. The divisor \(20\) is twice \(10\). 3. The corresponding quotient, \(30\), is half of \(60\). Thus, for a fixed dividend, doubling the divisor halves the quotient.

Answer

As the divisor increases, the quotient decreases. When the divisor doubles from \(10\) to \(20\), the quotient is halved from \(60\) to \(30\).

A seamstress needs strips of fabric that are each \(20\,\text{in.}\) long. She has two separate fabric remnants, one \(50\,\text{in.}\) long and one \(75\,\text{in.}\) long. She calculates \((50 + 75) \div 20 = 6\) remainder \(5\) and expects to cut \(6\) strips. Explain why this calculation does not model the actual cutting situation and determine how many full strips she can cut.

Hints

- Divide each remnant length by \(20\) separately. - Record the full strips and leftover length from each remnant. - Decide whether two separate leftovers can form one continuous strip.

Solution

1. From the \(50\,\text{in.}\) remnant, she can cut \(50 \div 20 = 2\) strips with \(10\,\text{in.}\) left. 2. From the \(75\,\text{in.}\) remnant, she can cut \(75 \div 20 = 3\) strips with \(15\,\text{in.}\) left. 3. She can cut \(2 + 3 = 5\) full strips. Adding the two lengths first incorrectly treats the separate leftover pieces as one continuous piece of fabric.

Answer

She can cut \(5\) full strips. The two separate leftover pieces cannot be combined into one unbroken \(20\,\text{in.}\) strip.
