Math Problem Statement

Divide the following and write an equivalent equation by following the given example.

Example: 19➗15=3+4/5 <—> 19=3 (5) +4

  1. 29➗15=<—>
  2. 34 ➗7=<—> 3.)145 ➗ 11=<—> 4.) 122 ➗ 7= <—> 5.) 219 ➗ 15=<—>

Solution

Let's follow the format provided in the example:

Example format:

19 ➗ 15 = 3 + 4/5 <—> 19 = 3(5) + 4

This is done using division and expressing the remainder as a fraction over the divisor.

Now, for each of the given problems:


1) 29÷1529 \div 15

  • 29÷15=129 \div 15 = 1 with a remainder of 1414
  • 29÷15=1+14/1529 \div 15 = 1 + 14/15 <—> 29=1(15)+1429 = 1(15) + 14

2) 34÷734 \div 7

  • 34÷7=434 \div 7 = 4 with a remainder of 66
  • 34÷7=4+6/734 \div 7 = 4 + 6/7 <—> 34=4(7)+634 = 4(7) + 6

3) 145÷11145 \div 11

  • 145÷11=13145 \div 11 = 13 with a remainder of 22
  • 145÷11=13+2/11145 \div 11 = 13 + 2/11 <—> 145=13(11)+2145 = 13(11) + 2

4) 122÷7122 \div 7

  • 122÷7=17122 \div 7 = 17 with a remainder of 33
  • 122÷7=17+3/7122 \div 7 = 17 + 3/7 <—> 122=17(7)+3122 = 17(7) + 3

5) 219÷15219 \div 15

  • 219÷15=14219 \div 15 = 14 with a remainder of 99
  • 219÷15=14+9/15219 \div 15 = 14 + 9/15 <—> 219=14(15)+9219 = 14(15) + 9

Here are 5 follow-up questions:

  1. How can you express the remainder as a fraction in any division problem?
  2. What does the term "remainder" signify in a division problem?
  3. Can the remainder ever be equal to or greater than the divisor?
  4. How would you handle a division problem if the remainder is zero?
  5. Why is it useful to express division results in mixed number form?

Tip: The remainder in any division must always be less than the divisor!
