| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 63 / 9 = 7 and 63 / 7 = 9. | One multiplication fact gives two divisions; each quotient is the other factor. |
| 2 | 9. | 72 / 8 = 9 because 8 x 9 = 72. |
| 3 | 5 x 9 = 45, which equals the dividend, so it is correct. | Multiply divisor by quotient; the answer is right when the product matches the dividend. |
| 4 | 9. | 54 / 6 = 9, checked by 9 x 6 = 54. |
| 5 | 12 x 5 = 60. | A division can be rewritten as divisor x quotient = dividend. |
| 6 | 5 x 9 + 2 = 47, which equals the dividend. | With a remainder, check with divisor x quotient + remainder; the remainder must be smaller than the divisor. |
| 7 | 8 rows. | 56 / 7 = 8, checked by 7 x 8 = 56. |
| 8 | 8. | Both come from the same fact 8 x 9 = 72, so no new calculation is needed. |
| 9 | 42. | The dividend is divisor x quotient: 6 x 7 = 42. |
| 10 | She should multiply: 7 x 5 = 35. | A division is checked with the inverse operation; adding numbers proves nothing about the quotient. |
Check the answers; for a wrong item write divisor x quotient + remainder and see whether it equals the dividend.Tutor Registration →
