Write a story division for 36 divide by 9
Write a division story of 42 divide by 7
Mom baked three dozen cookies. The nine girls in our Brownie troop shared them. How many cookies does each girl get?
OK. I've done two of these for you. Now it's your turn to make up a division story.
To solve the division problem 36 ÷ 9, you can follow these steps for a story division.
Step 1: Begin by drawing a division bracket.
36
------
9
Step 2: Divide the total number of items, which is 36, into equal groups. In this particular scenario, let's imagine you have 36 cookies to be distributed equally to 9 people.
Step 3: Fill in the dividend (the number being divided) above the division bracket, and the divisor (the number dividing into the dividend) inside the bracket.
36 ÷ 9
Step 4: Start distributing the cookies, one at a time, to each person in each group. Continue this process until all the cookies have been distributed.
Step 5: Count the number of groups or persons who received one cookie each. In this case, everyone receives the same number, so every person gets 4 cookies.
4
Step 6: Write the number of cookies each person received as the quotient above the bracket line.
36 ÷ 9 = 4
Step 7: Check your answer by multiplying the quotient (4) by the divisor (9) to see if it equals the dividend (36):
4 × 9 = 36
Since 4 × 9 is indeed equal to 36, you have correctly solved the division problem 36 ÷ 9, which means each person in the story received 4 cookies.
