Question

Use one of the division strategies to solve this equation.

92 ÷ 5 = ?
A. 21 r. 4
B. 15 r. 7
C. 19 r. 5
D. 18 r. 2

Answer 1

There's many strategies, but the easiest one in my opinion is relating back to multiplication.

So 5 x _ = 92??

obviously nothing can since it doesnt end in a 0 or 5, but we can find the closest thing. This would be 18 (ie, 18 x 5 = 90.)

-Next, we can subtract 92 by the product and that will be the remainder.
92 - 90 = 2.

-Therefore, the answer is 18 r.2 or D.

Answer 2

I think the answer is D
