Question

What is the answer to 36÷9 using a number line?

Answer 1

To divide 36/9 using the number line you have to jump from zero with length of 9 until reach 36, and the result will be the number of jumps.

I do the jumps by steps, but you can draw in the number line:

0. First jump from 0 to 9.

,

1. Second jump from 9 to 9+9=18.

,

2. Third jump from 18 to 18+9=27.

,

3. Fourth jump from 27 to 27+9=36.

,

4. Great!! We already reach 36.

So, we need four jumps of 9 to reach 36 from 0.

So, the result is 36/9=4
