Use the bus stop method.

this is the bus stop method.
(see image)

what you have to do is imagine the number individually.

so _______
7 [2 8 7

do 2/7 first. as you can see, 2/7 does not work, so write zero and carry on the two in the next question.

0______
7 [2 (2)8 7

now the number is 28.

so you do 28/7, which is 4.

write four on top next to the zero:

0_4___
7 [2 (2)8 7

next is 7.

7/7= 1

so write one on top of your 'bus stop'

0_4__1
7 [2 (2)8 7

this makes 041 which is 41.

( by the way, / just means divide as I don't have a division symbol)

Hope it helps!

(use this method for the rest of the questions)
