Answer:40


Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can tell 120 is divisable by three. A trick I like to use is adding all the individual numbers with that numbers and seeing if the sum is divisible by three.

EX: 1+2+0=3 so we know 120 is divisible by three

7+2=9 so we know 72 is divisable by three.

2. divide the number by ten in your head.

120/10=12

3. 12/3=4

4. 4x10=40

5.120/3=40
