Fill in the blanks.
56 ÷ 7 = ____ ones ÷ 7
= ____ ones
= ____
8
56 ÷ 7 = 8 ones ÷ 7
= 1 ones
= 1
To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of division. Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts or groups.
In this case, we are given the expression 56 ÷ 7. We want to find out how many ones (individual units) are there in 56, divided by 7.
To solve this, we can work step-by-step:
Step 1: Divide 56 by 7
To divide 56 by 7, we need to ask ourselves how many times 7 can fit into 56. We can do this by performing the division operation.
56 ÷ 7 = 8
Step 2: Divide the result by 7 again
Now, we need to take the result from step 1, which is 8, and divide it by 7.
8 ÷ 7 = 1
Step 3: Divide the result by 7 one more time
Finally, we divide the result from step 2, which is 1, by 7.
1 ÷ 7 = 0.142857 (this is the decimal representation of the fraction 1/7, which is a repeating decimal)
So, to complete the fill in the blanks:
56 ÷ 7 = 8 ones ÷ 7
= 1 ones
= 0.142857 ones (or 1/7 ones as a fraction)
