Question

For step one, what is the best way to find the quotient of 3,280 ÷ 80 using repeated subtraction?   A. Multiply 3,280 by 80.   B. Subtract 80 from 3,280.   C. Subtract 800 from 3,280.   D.

Answer 1

Answer : B. Subtract 80 from 3,280

We use repeated subtraction to divide any two numbers

For example, 35 ÷ 7

Solve it by repeated subtraction

Subtract 7 from 35 repeatedly

35 - 7 = 28 --------> 1

28 - 7 = 21 ---------> 2

21 - 7 = 14 --------> 3

14 - 7 = 7 ---------> 4

7 - 7 = 0 --------> 5

We subtracted 5 times repeatedly

so 35 ÷ 7=5

For step one, what is the best way to find the quotient of 3,280 ÷ 80 using repeated subtraction

We start subtracting 80 from 3,280

So the first step is Subtract 80 from 3,280
