Long division with remainders W1-mt_WsM4EmdOLe-s1

  1. 2 · The remainder is 2 because 8 times 6 is 48, leaving 50 - 48 = 2.
  2. 9 remainder 2 · 9 remainder 2 is correct because 9 times 5 plus 2 equals 47.
  3. Subtract · You subtract the multiplied number from the digits you're working with, then bring down the next digit.
  4. True · The divide, multiply, subtract, bring down cycle never changes. Only the size of the divisor does.
  5. 365 · The whole quotient is 365 because 13 times 365 equals 4,745, leaving remainder 7.
  6. 4 · The leftover 15 children still need seats, so round up to 4 coaches even though the fourth one won't be full.
  7. 4 · 4 buses are needed because 3 buses hold only 120, leaving 30 children behind.
  8. False · Sue is wrong. Eight boxes hold 96 eggs, leaving 4 unpacked, so 9 boxes are needed.
  9. She stopped dividing too early, since 21 is bigger than 18 · A remainder can never be bigger than the divisor. Since 21 is more than 18, Priya needed to divide at least once more.
  10. 15 · 15 full pieces result because 15 times 6 is 90, and 16 pieces would need 96 m.
