Question

Write a division problem whose quotient has its first digit in the hundreds place

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 1000 ÷ 5 = 200

Step-by-step explanation: The place value of a number is the position occupied by a digit in a number

We start from counting from the right hand side of a number

i.e. first digit from right occupies ones place, second tens place, third hundreds place and so on

For ex 1234

Here  4 occupies ones place

    3 occupies tens place

    2 occupies hundreds place

    1 occupies thousands place

    So in question it is asked that the first digit of the number should be in hundreds place i.e. the number should be a 3-digit number

   So  1000 ÷ 5 = 200

  Here the first digit of the quotient 200 i.e. 2 is at hundreds place

Answer 2

Answer

450 ÷ 3 = 150

Explanation

The place value of a number is the position a digit holds in a certain number.

We count the digits from the left to the right.

The first digit from the right is in ones place, the second one is in tens place, the third one is in hundreds place and so on.

E.g

450 ⇒ 0 is in ones place

             5 is in tens place and

            4 is in hundreds place.

150 ⇒ 1 is in hundreds place.

450 ÷ 3 = 150
