Write a division stoy of 16 divide by 4
OK. I've done two of these for you. Now it's your turn to make up a division story.
Sure! Here's a division story for 16 divided by 4:
Once upon a time, there were 16 toy cars that needed to be shared equally among 4 children. The children decided to divide the cars as fairly as possible.
To find out how many cars each child would get, we can use the division operation. We divide the total number of cars (16) by the number of children (4). In this case, we can set up the division problem as:
16 ÷ 4
To solve this division problem, we can start by dividing 16 by 4.
1. First, we ask ourselves: "How many times can 4 be subtracted from 16?"
Since 4 can be subtracted evenly from 16 exactly 4 times, we write down the number 4 above the division bar.
```
4
-----------
```
2. Next, we multiply the quotient (4) by the divisor (4) to get the product (16), and then subtract it from the dividend (16).
```
4
-----------
-16
```
After subtracting, we're left with 0, indicating that the division is complete.
Therefore, each child will receive 4 toy cars. The division story tells us that when 16 toy cars are divided equally among 4 children, each child will receive 4 cars.
