Answer 1

56/4
(40 + 16) /4
(40/4)+(16/4)
10 + 4 = 14
:) hope this helps

Answer 2

The quotient of 56 ÷ 4 is 14

Further explanation

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division
4. Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem!

This problem is about DIstributive Property.

$( a + b ) \times c = ( a \times c ) + ( b \times c )$

$( a + b ) \div c = ( a \div c ) + ( b \div c )$

Given :

56 ÷ 4 = ?

$56 \div 4 = ( 40 + 16 ) \div 4$

$56 \div 4 = ( 40 \div 4 ) + ( 16 \div 4 )$

$56 \div 4 = ( 10 ) + ( 4 )$

$56 \div 4 = \boxed {14}$
