Ms.Smith wrote the division problem shown below, using a box to represent the missing digit. What value can replace the box in the quotient to complete the division problem?
132 divided by 12 and i got 11 but does 11 answer the question or do i put 1 for the value left?
11 is correct.
11 would be correct. I have not one clue why it would be correct but 11 is the correct answer.
To find the value that can replace the box in the quotient, let's go step by step through the division problem.
The dividend is 132, which is the number being divided. The divisor is 12, which is the number that divides the dividend. The quotient is the result of the division.
Start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (1) by the divisor (12). Since 1 is less than 12, the division cannot be completed using only this digit. We move on to the next digit of the dividend, which is 13.
Divide 13 by 12. The quotient is 1, and the remainder is 1. So far, the quotient is 1.
Now we bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 2. We use this digit to form a new dividend, which is 12. We divide 12 by 12. The quotient is 1, and there is no remainder.
So, the correct quotient for 132 divided by 12 is 11. We do not need to add any additional value to the quotient.
