Uriah is using a model to find the quotient of 8.4 ÷ 1.4. He starts by modeling the dividend, 8.4 as shown. He will separate the model into equal groups to represent the division. How many equal groups of 1.4 should he make?
To find the number of equal groups of 1.4 that Uriah should make, he needs to divide the dividend 8.4 by the divisor 1.4.
8.4 ÷ 1.4 = 6.
Therefore, Uriah should make 6 equal groups of 1.4.
