Question

There are 452 pictures of dogs in 4 equal groups.how many pictures are in each group?explain how you can use place value to place the first digit in the quotient.

Answer 1

113 groups, since the place value of the 4 is divisible by 4 you can predict that the quotient is about 100

Answer 2

Answer:

113; 100

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd there are 452 pictures of dogs in 4 groups, this means;

452pictures = 4groups... 1

To find the number of picture in each group, we have

x pictures = 1group... 2

Cross multiplying both equations 1 and 2 we have;

452pictures × 1group = x pictures × 4 groups

Dividing both sides by 4groups

x pictures = 452pictures × 1group/4groups

x = 113pictures

This shows that there are 113pictures in each group.

The quotient is 113, the place value of the first digit which is '1' is 100 i.e one-hundred since there are two other figures in front, they will be converted to zeros making the place value of the first digit one-hundred.
