Angel uses this method to work out some harder divisions. Use Angel's method to work these out.
a. 225 ÷ 5 b. 363 ÷ 5 c. 373 ÷ 3
d. 447 ÷ 6 e. 758 ÷ 8 f. 920 ÷ 12

This is kinda easy but I just can't figure out What's the method. Please solve at least 3 questions if you can So I have a better understanding of what's happening.

for the first one 225÷5=45. For the second one to do 363÷5 you have to decrease 363 to the closest number divisible by 5 and that number is 360 so 360÷5=72 then for the remaining 3 instead of doing 3÷5 you can do 30÷5 then bring the decimal point 1 digit forward so 30÷5=6 then when you bring the decimal point forward its 0.6 then add both and its 72.6. for the third one its the same thing so 372÷3=124 but since you cant do 10÷3 you have to use fractions so 1÷3 means 1/3 then add both of them together and its 124 1/3
