Dividing by 10
The question
80 ÷ 10
80÷10
10×?=80
10×8=80
80÷10=8
8×10=80
- 80 ÷ 10 means sharing 80 out equally between 10. Deal them round one at a time until they run out; the answer is how many end up in one share.
- Dealing out 80 one at a time would take a while. Instead ask: 10 times what makes 80?
- 10 × 8 = 80. That is the one, so 80 ÷ 10 = 8.
- Check: 8 × 10 = 80.
