Question

I don't understand Division. Can you help?​

Answer 1

it’s hard to explain but let’s say you have 20 dogs and then you take 10 of them away and sell them. that would be 20 divided by 2 because 10 plus 10 = 20


i hope this helps!!


another example

you have 15 apples you give 3 family each 5 apples that would be 15divided by 3 =5


i really hope this helps! thanks!

Answer 2

It's a bit hard to explain, in my opinion. but I'll give it a go. Lets say you have 10 full pizzas, and you want to split it upon 5 people. Now 5 2 slices is 10, like 5x2 so basically, it's kind of like backwards multiplying. if that makes sense. Think of it like this. if you see something like 14 ÷ 2, think of what number times 2 would be 14. 7, exactly. So Just write the number thats missing. Thats how i like to think of it. What number is missing.

Explanation:

Sorry if this doesnt make sense and sorry if you dont understand.
