Question

Explain how to divide an amount by number 3

Answer 1

Answer:

Dividing by 3 means splitting a number into 3 numbers, all equal. The division sign can be represented by a /.

For example, 12/3=4. We can check our answer by multiplying our answer by 3, and seeing if we get our original answer.

4*3=12

Division is the opposite of multiplication, so it makes sense that multiplication is a valuable tool to check our work.

Hope this helps!
