Question

The owner of Animal Lovers Pet Shop just got a delivery of 315 bags of cat food and you need to put the bags on 9 shelves. How many bags will be put on each shelf? Explain the long division steps you used to find your answer.

Answer 1

Sample Response: Divide 9 into 31, multiply 9 and 30 to get 270, subtract 270 from 315 and get 45. Divide 9 into 45, multiply 9 and 5, and get 45, subtract 45 from 45 and get 0. The answer is 35.

Explanation:

Divide 9 into 315 and get 35 bags.

Divide 9 into 31, multiply 9 and 30 to get 270, subtract 270 from 315 and get 45. Divide 9 into 45, multiply 9 and 5, and get 45, subtract 45 from 45 and get 0. The answer is 35.

315 divided by 9 is 35, so there will be 35 bags on each shelf.

Answer 2

Don't know if you still need help but

If there is 315 bags of cat food you would divide it by the number of shelves so it would be 315 divided by 9 which is 35

Step-by-step explanation:
`9\sqrt 315` (sorry if it looks different) so you would do 9 divided by 31 and since 31 goes into 9 three times you would put a 3 over the 3 in 315 and subtract 27 (since 9 times 3 is 27 and it does not go into 31 equally) from 31 and it will equal 4 so then you bring the 5 down from 315 and put is beside the 4 so then you will have 45 divide by 9 and since 9 goes into 45 five times and it exactly equals 45 you would put the 5 on top beside the 3 above 315. So your answer would be: There will be exactly 45 bags of cat food on each shelf.

I tried to put as much detail as possible sorry its kind of a lot. If its hard to understand here is a picture of what it should look like
