    • +

    • -

    • X

    • ÷

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.(calculators are not permitted)32 ÷ 2 =

    Correct Answer
    16
    Explanation
    To divide 32 by 2, we can use long division method. We start by dividing 3 (the first digit of 32) by 2, which gives us 1. We then multiply 1 by 2, which gives us 2, and subtract it from 3 to get 1. We bring down the next digit, 2, and divide 12 by 2, which gives us 6. We then multiply 6 by 2, which gives us 12, and subtract it from 12 to get 0. Therefore, the quotient is 16.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.(calculators are not permitted)60 ÷ 5 =

    Correct Answer
    12
    Explanation
    To divide 60 by 5, we can use long division method. We start by dividing 5 into 6, which gives us 1 with a remainder of 1. We then bring down the 0 from 60 and divide 5 into 10, which gives us 2. Therefore, the quotient is 12.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.(calculators are not permitted)72 ÷ 3 =

    Correct Answer
    24
    Explanation
    To divide 72 by 3, we can use long division method. We start by dividing 7 (the first digit of 72) by 3, which equals 2. Then we multiply 2 by 3, which equals 6, and subtract it from 7 to get 1. We bring down the next digit, 2, and divide it by 3, which equals 0. We then multiply 0 by 3, which is 0, and subtract it from 2, leaving us with 2. Since there are no more digits to bring down, our final answer is 24.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.(calculators are not permitted)900 ÷ 25 =

    Correct Answer
    36
  • 7. 

    Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.(calculators are not permitted)10840 ÷ 20 =

    Correct Answer
    542
    Explanation
    To divide 10840 by 20, start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (1) by the divisor (20). Since 1 is smaller than 20, the quotient is 0. Bring down the next digit (0) and divide it by 20. Again, the quotient is 0. Bring down the next digit (8) and divide it by 20. The quotient is 0. Finally, bring down the last digit (4) and divide it by 20. The quotient is 2. Therefore, the answer is 542.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    64 ÷ 8 = 7 (True or False)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given division equation is 64 ÷ 8 = 7. However, this is incorrect. When 64 is divided by 8, the result is actually 8, not 7. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    To divide means to break a group of items into smaller and equal groups (True or False)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement accurately defines the meaning of dividing. Dividing involves breaking a group of items into smaller groups that are equal in size. Therefore, the correct answer is true.
