Mrs. Hinojosa bought 8 bags of lollipops for the concession stand. Each bag contained 76 lollipops.
How many lollipops did Mrs. Hinojosa buy?
To find the total number of lollipops Mrs. Hinojosa bought, you multiply the number of bags by the number of lollipops in each bag:
8 bags * 76 lollipops per bag = 608 lollipops
Mrs. Hinojosa bought a total of 608 lollipops.
If 7 × 3 = 21, then 21 ÷ ___ = 3.
Fill in the blank for the problem above.
Responses
A 33
B 2121
C 99
D 7
To fill in the blank with the correct number that makes the statement true:
21 ÷ ___ = 3
We're looking for the number that when divided into 21 will result in 3. This number is the reciprocal of the multiplication at the beginning (7 times 3 is 21). Since we already know that 7 times 3 equals 21, then 21 divided by 7 equals 3.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
21 ÷ 7 = 3
So, we fill in the blank with the number 7.
The answer is:
D 7
48 ÷ 6 = ____
Which answer below can be used to solve the division problem above?
Responses
A 48 × 6 = ___48 × 6 = ___
B 6 ÷ 48 = ___6 ÷ 48 = ___
C 6 × ___ = 486 × ___ = 48
D 48 × ___ = 6
The division problem is:
48 ÷ 6 = ____
To solve this division problem, you want to find the value that, when multiplied by the divisor, will give you the dividend. Therefore, you need a multiplication problem that will help you find the number that multiplies by 6 to give you 48.
The correct answer is:
C 6 × ___ = 48
When you find the number that fits in the blank to make the equation true, you find the answer to the original division problem. In this case, the number that fits in the blank is 8, because 6 multiplied by 8 equals 48. This also means that 48 divided by 6 equals 8.
Thus, 48 ÷ 6 = 8
There are 1,272 books on 6 shelves. The same number of books are on each shelf. How many books are on each shelf?
To find out how many books are on each shelf, you divide the total number of books by the number of shelves. Given that there are 1,272 books on 6 shelves, you would do the following calculation:
1,272 ÷ 6 = ?
Using a calculator or long division, you get:
1,272 ÷ 6 = 212
There are 212 books on each shelf.
