Question

How can the basic fact help find 3,000 divided by 5?? I need help

Answer 1

3000/5 = 600

Explanation:

Every multiplication fact is equivalent to two (2) division facts:

a·b = c ⇒ c/a = b and c/b = a

Multiplication or division by 10 involves moving the decimal point one place to the right or left (respectively).

Recasting the problem

The division ...

`(3000)/(5)`

is fully equivalent to ...

`(30)/(5)* 100`

Using the basic fact

We assume your "basic fact" is 5×6 = 30. In accordance with the above equivalence to division problems, this tells you ...

`(30)/(5)=6\\\\(30)/(5)*100 = 6*100\\\\(3000)/(5)=600`
