Assignment 5a: Methods for Dividing and Interpreting Remainders

Submission Instructions: Write your answers to the problems on paper and then scan or take photos of those pages.  If there are multiple pages to your completed assignment, you must submit them as one multi-page document (pdf, docx, jpg, or png).

Directions: Complete each of the following. Reminder: The “quotient” of two numbers is the result of dividing two numbers.

Find the quotient of 128 and 4.

Use drawings of base-ten blocks to find the quotient. First represent the problem with the base-ten blocks then show any trading and grouping needed to find the quotient.

What is the quotient of 128 and 4?

Find the quotient of 741 and 3.

Use the partial quotients algorithm to find the quotient.

1. What is the quotient of 741 and 3?

Find the quotient of 924 and 7.

1. Use the standard algorithm for division to find the product.
2. What is the quotient of 924 and 7?
3. Write a division word problem involving a remainder such that the remainder indicates that the whole number part of the quotient needs to be rounded up in order to correctly answer the question asked in the word problem.

Write a division word problem involving a remainder such that the remainder itself is the answer to the question asked in the word problem.

3. Directions: Use order of operations to evaluate each of the following expressions. Show each step. An example is shown below.

Example:   32 ÷ 8 x 22 + 3(4 – 1)

1. 32 ÷ 8 x 22 + 3(3)
2.                      32 ÷ 8 x 4 + 3(3)
3.                       4 x 4 + 3(3)
4.                        16 + 3(3)

             16 + 9

                             25

14 – 4 + 15 ÷ 3

12 ÷ 3 x 2 + 5

5 x 4 – 2 x 3 + 16 ÷ 4

32 – 542  8  2 – 2

(24 ÷ 3 x 4) – (16 – 6 + 2)
