Answer:

50

Explanation:

Well, you're having trouble with how it's supposed to be 50 right? So I suggest breaking it down a little bit.

As you see:

1100 ÷ 22

1100 and 22 are both divisible by 2 so if we divide both numbers by 2 you get:

550 ÷ 11

now try solving from there!!

If you still don't get it here:

firstly 11 goes into 5 zero times so put nothing

next does 11 go into 55? Yes! it does so how many times does it go into 55?

well let's see: 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 = 55

now if we count how many 11s there are there is 5! so then you put:

5_

now lets see the next number is 0 and does 11 go into 0? Nope! so we just put:

50 and that is your answer!!
