Question

Wrote a word problem that must be solved by using division. Include the equation and the solution and explain how to place the first digit in the quotient

Answer 1

Answer:

Question: 89 people have been invited to a banquet. The caterer is arranging tables. Each table can seat 12 people. How many tables are needed?

The solution to this question involve simple division. we need to divide 89 from 12 to find the number of table required.

on dividing we get that  the quotient is 7 since (12×7=84) and remainder is 5.

now as we have to make each one of them sit.

so if we have only 7 tables 5 people will be left standing so we require one more table for all of them to sit.

Hence total number of table required is:7+1=8.

Answer 2

Jimmy has 18 apples. He wants to evenly give his apples amongst him and his 5 friends. How many apples does 1 person have? Equation: 18/6 = 3 HTPFD: 6 goes into 18 3 times, so that is how you place the first digit.
