It is like if you have two number lines. Then one has a pointer at 0, and the other one has the pointer facing at 2 then it will be lesser because the first one has 0 or if it turned around it would be greater. If it is equal then it would have the same number, but watch out if it is a negative number.
52 quadrilaterals would have 52 ÷ 4 = a
a = your answer.
My answer is reasonable because if you have 52 sides from quadrilaterals you would need to divide by 4 to get the amount of quadrilaterals you have. Check your work by multiplying 4 x a = __ (The blank should be 52)
