Answer:

Explanation:

You want the numbers for quotient, dividend, and remainder in the area model of 49÷3.

Area model

The number in each rectangle is its area, which is the product of the divisor on the left and the quotient at the top. These can be considered the length and width of the rectangle. The rectangle area is their product.

The remainder is put in the box at upper right. It is a value that is smaller than the divisor on the left.

The line at the bottom summarizes the division. The quotient is the sum of the quotient values at the top of the model, and the remainder is what's left over: the number that is too small to divide further.
