Question

Write a division problem that will have a 2 digit quotient and another division problem that will have a 3 digit quotient. Explain how you choose the divisors and dividends.

Answer 1

1. 150 divided by 5= 30
2. 1,000 divided by 10= 100

Answer 2

`(240)/(4) =60`

`(1800)/(3) =600`

Explanation:

1. The result should by a 2 digit number.

So, I fix a two digit number first, say 60.

Then, I multiplied it by some random integer, say 4 and got 240.

Now, 240 is my dividend and 4 is my divisor.

My division problem is:

`(240)/(4) =60`

2. The result should be a 3 digit number.

So, I fix a three digit number first, say 600.

Then, I multiplied it by some random integer, say 3 and got 1800.

Now, 1800 is my dividend and 3 is my divisor.

My division problem is:

`(1800)/(3) =600`
