The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B.
Use the model to answer the questions.
Part A
Carter wants to use the model above to solve 273÷13
. Explain how he would find parts A, B, and C of the model.
(2 points)
To find parts A, B, and C of the model, Carter would follow these steps:
- First, he would divide 273 by 13 to find the quotient. The quotient is the number of times 13 can be subtracted from 273 without going below 0.
- Next, he would determine the remainder by subtracting the product of the quotient and the divisor (13) from the dividend (273). The remainder represents the amount left over after dividing as much as possible.
- Carter would then place the quotient in part A of the model.
- He would place the divisor (13) in part B of the model.
- Lastly, he would put the remainder in part C of the model.
