Question

How can the basic fact help find 3,000 divided by 5?? I need help

Answer 1

Answer:

  3000/5 = 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Every multiplication fact is equivalent to two (2) division facts:

  a·b = c  ⇒  c/a = b  and  c/b = a

Multiplication or division by 10 involves moving the decimal point one place to the right or left (respectively).

Recasting the problem

The division ...

  $\dfrac{3000}{5}$

is fully equivalent to ...

  $\dfrac{30}{5}\times 100$

Using the basic fact

We assume your "basic fact" is 5×6 = 30. In accordance with the above equivalence to division problems, this tells you ...

  $\dfrac{30}{5}=6\\\\\dfrac{30}{5}\times100 = 6\times100\\\\\dfrac{3000}{5}=600$
