Explain why you can use subtraction to solve a division problem

If I understand your question clearly, the reason why you can use subtraction in a division problem is that, in order for you to find out what a remainder or mixed number is, you need to subtract. 

Example: Tamira has 60 bags of cookies to give out at her local community center, each person receives 5 cookies in a bag, how many people got a bag of cookies? Is there a remainder left?

So, after reading that problem, you already know you need to divide.


 5 )‾‾60‾‾‾‾   

How many times can 5 go into 6? 1 time. So, you put the 1 over the 6.

      1
5 )‾60‾‾‾‾‾‾
   -  5 
↓ 
 ______
     1 0

How many times can 5 go into 10? 2 times.

     12
5)‾‾60‾‾‾
     -5↓
_________
      10
     -10
  _______
        0

So, Tamira gave 12 people cookies with no remainder. And for when you need to find out the mixed number, it's the same process, but you go in the order of: quotient, remainder, dividend.

I hope I helped :)

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6,2), (0,-6).A 6B 2.C-4/3DOE-3/1
NNADVOKAT [17]

Given data:

The first point given iis (a, b)=(-6,2).

The second point given is (c,d)=(0, -6).

The expression for the slope is,

m=(d-b)/(c-a)

Substitute the given points in the above expression.

m=(-6-2)/(0-(-6))

=(-8)/(6)

=-4/3

Thus, the slope of the line is -4/3, so (C) option is correct.
