Which division sentence will give an answer that is not in equal groups?
a.) 26/4
b.) 35/7
c.) 42/6
d.) 45/5
a.
All of the other division problems are evenly divisible.
35/7 = 5
42/6 = 7
45/5 = 9
To determine which division sentence will give an answer that is not in equal groups, we can look for division problems where the dividend (the number being divided) is not evenly divisible by the divisor (the number we are dividing by).
Let's go through each option:
a.) 26 divided by 4 (26/4): Since 26 is not evenly divisible by 4, this division will not result in equal groups. There will be a remainder.
b.) 35 divided by 7 (35/7): In this division, 35 is evenly divisible by 7 because both numbers are factors of 35. Therefore, this division will result in equal groups.
c.) 42 divided by 6 (42/6): Similar to the previous example, both numbers in this division are factors of 42. So, this division will also result in equal groups.
d.) 45 divided by 5 (45/5): Just like the first option, 45 is not evenly divisible by 5. Therefore, this division will not result in equal groups.
Based on this analysis, the division sentence that will give an answer without equal groups is option d.) 45/5.
