Question

Part of the student's solution for finding the quotient 288 ÷ 24 is shown below. 240 ÷ 24 = 10 288 – 240 = 48 48 ÷ 24 = 2 Which step should the student do next? A. 10 + 2 B. 240 ÷ 3 C. 10 + 48 + 2 D. 10 – 2

Answer 1

A. 10 + 2

Explanation:

288 ÷ 24 is shown below. 240 ÷ 24 = 10 288 – 240 = 48 48 ÷ 24 = 2

After obtaining the quotient of 288 ÷ 24 = 10,

Multiplying the divisor 24 by 10 = 240 and subtracting 240 from 288 to obtain the remainder = 48, the divisor is again used in 48 and the quotient obtained is added to the intula quotient value of 10 ; (10 + 2) and the process repeated
