The division sentence is 9 ÷ 3

Explanation:

To find - Look at the number sentences 9-3=6 6-3=3 3-3=0 .Write

a division sentence that matches the repeated subtraction

shown above

Proof -

The division sentence is 9 ÷ 3

Reason -

9 ÷ 3 means we are subtracting 3 from 9 till we get 0 , and we get 0 after subtraction 3 times.

i.e 9 - 3 - 3 - 3 = 0
