Question

Show how you can use repeated subtraction to find 84 divided by 6\

Answer 1

You can use repeated subtraction to solve 84 divided by 6 by subtracting 6 from 84 repeatedly, and stopping until either you reach zero, or until you cannot make any more groups of 6.

Answer 2

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the repeated subtraction method, keep deducting the divisor from the dividend. The dividend here is 84 and the divisor is 6.

Hence 84/6

84 - 6 = 78

78 - 6 = 72

72 - 6 = 66

66 - 6 = 60

60 - 6 = 54

54 - 6 = 48

48 - 6 = 42

42 - 6 = 36

36 - 6 = 30

30 - 6 = 24

24 - 6 = 18

18 - 6 = 12

12 - 6 = 6

6 - 6 = 0

Counting the number of times 6 was deducted, we get 14.
