Question

Hailey divided 92 ÷ 5. Her work is shown below.

92 divided by 5. 5 goes into 9 1 time. 9 minus 5 = 4. 5 goes into 42 8 times. 42 minus 40 = 2. The answer is 18 R 2. There are 5 groups of 1 ten plus 8 ones.
Which statements are true about Hailey’s work? Check all that apply.

Hailey found the correct quotient.
The “1” in the quotient represents the number of tens in each of the 5 groups.
Hailey placed the dividend and divisor in the wrong places in the problem.
The “R2” represents the number of ones in each of the 5 groups.
Since only 5 tens could be divided evenly among the groups, Hailey subtracted 5 from 9 to find out how many tens were left over.

Answer 1

The “1” in the quotient represents the number of tens in each of the 5 groups.

Since only 5 tens could be divided evenly among the groups, Hailey subtracted 5 from 9 to find out how many tens were left over.

Explanation:

Given:

92÷5

Hailey's workings:

92 divided by 5.

5 goes into 9 1 time.

9 minus 5 = 4.

5 goes into 42 8 times.

42 minus 40 = 2.

The answer is 18 R 2.

The true statements about Hailey's work are:

The “1” in the quotient represents the number of tens in each of the 5 groups.

Since only 5 tens could be divided evenly among the groups, Hailey subtracted 5 from 9 to find out how many tens were left over.
