The question
50 ÷ 10
50÷10
10×?=50
10×5=50
50÷10=5
5×10=50
- 50 ÷ 10 means sharing 50 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 50 one at a time would take a while. Instead ask: 10 times what makes 50?
- 10 × 5 = 50. That is the one, so 50 ÷ 10 = 5.
- Check: 5 × 10 = 50.
