What are the different ways to divide?
You can use many different strategies to find the answer to a division problem. One strategy is to use repeated subtraction. To find 123 ÷ 36, think: How many groups of 36 are there in 123? Start with 123. Subtract 36 repeatedly. Count how many times you subtracted: 123 − 36 = 87 (1); 87 − 36 = 51 (2); 51 − 36 = 15 (3); 15 < 36. There are 3 groups of 36 in 123 with 15 left over. Therefore, 123 ÷ 36 = 3 R15.
Another strategy is to use what is sometimes called long division. The algorithm for long division is estimate, multiply, subtract, bring down, and repeat as needed. To find 123 ÷ 36, start with the estimate 120 ÷ 40 = 3. Then use this estimate to help you place the first digit in the quotient of the division algorithm.

There are 76 men and 69 women in a room. 29 of the men and 23 of the women earn more than $50,000 per year.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

  52/145 ≈ 0.359 = 35.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 76+69 = 145 people in the room. Of them, 29+23 = 52 earn more than $50,000 per year. The probability of choosing one of those at random is 52/145 ≈ 0.35862 ≈ 35.9%.

___

For all of these probability problems, the probability of selecting an item with particular characteristics is the ratio of the number of such items to the total number of possible choices.
