Question

a division problem divides a 3 digit number by a 1 digit number.The quotient is 307 R3.what could the division problem be?Explain how you found your answer?

Answer 1

we have more than one option to solve this problem

`(a)/(n)=307`

where a is a 3 digit number and n a 1 digit number

we can replace one of the missing numbers with any number (as appropriate) and then solve to find the other value

finally we must note that it meets the characteristics

I will replace n by 2, because is a 1digit number

then

`(a)/(2)=307`

now we can solve multipliying 2 on both sides

`\begin{gathered} 2*(a)/(2)=2*307 \\ a=614 \end{gathered}`

a is 614, a is right because is a 3digit number

so, the exprssion is right

finally expression is

`(614)/(2)=307`
