What you would first want to do is make an equation (optional)

166.25= 19(x)

then divide 166.25 by 19

and you get this:

8.75

you would have to round up though so your answer would be:

9

Another thing that is probably easier since you are in elementary school is this:

166.25 <span>÷ 19 = 8.75

round up:

9

hope this helped :)</span>

Mr Rice will need to purchase $\large{\boxed{\bold{=8.75}}$ lengths of edging

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The division operation is one of the basic arithmetic operations

Common signs used are $\large{\boxed{:}}}$ or $\large{\boxed{\slash}}$

The division is written by placing the numerator above the denominator with a horizontal line between them or use a slash with the numerator's position and the denominator is parallel

The division is actually an iterative subtraction operation (as many as the number of divisors)

Division is the opposite of multiplying

The general form of division can be stated by:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{divident:divisor=quotient+remainder}}$
