03　Answers and one-line notes

#	Answer	One-line note
1	27.	Thirteen tens give two tens with three left, and 35 / 5 = 7, so the quotient is 27.
2	24.	16 / 7 gives 2 with 2 left, and 28 / 7 = 4, so the quotient is 24.
3	27.	24 / 9 gives 2 with 6 left, and 63 / 9 = 7, so the quotient is 27.
4	26.	15 / 6 gives 2 with 3 left, and 36 / 6 = 6, so the quotient is 26.
5	42.	29 / 7 gives 4 with 1 left, and 14 / 7 = 2, so the quotient is 42.
6	54.	43 / 8 gives 5 with 3 left, and 32 / 8 = 4, so the quotient is 54.
7	Quotient 103, remainder 2.	5 / 5 gives 1, the next 1 cannot be shared so a 0 goes in the quotient, and 17 / 5 gives 3 with 2 left; the quotient is 103.
8	Quotient 106, remainder 2.	6 / 6 gives 1, the 3 cannot be shared so a 0 goes in, and 38 / 6 gives 6 with 2 left; the answer is 106 remainder 2.
9	171.	Check by divisor x quotient + remainder = 7 x 24 + 3 = 171.
10	It should be 23.	22 x 4 = 88 and the 4 left can still be shared once, so the quotient is 23.

04　What to do after marking

After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.

Check the answers; if the remainder is not smaller than the divisor, the quotient is one too small.Tutor Registration →
