180 ÷ 9
180 ÷ 9 = 20
Tamara sold 92 cold drinks during her 2-hour shift at a festival food stand. If she sold the same number of drinks each hour, how many cold drinks did she sell each hour?
92 ÷ 2 = 46 cold drinks each hour
26 ÷ 2 = (___÷ 2 ) + (___÷ 2)
One possible response:
26 ÷ 2 = (20÷ 2 ) + (6 ÷ 2)
26 ÷ 2 = 10 + 3
26 ÷ 2 = 13
72 ÷ 6. Use repeated subtraction to solve.
72 - 6 = 66 - 6 = 60 - 6 = 54 - 6 = 48 - 6 = 42 - 6 = 36 - 6 = 30 - 6 = 24 - 6 = 18 - 6 = 12 - 6 = 6 - 6 = 0
72 ÷ 6 = 12
84 ÷ 3 Draw a model using base ten blocks, to solve.
84 ÷ 3 = 28
39 ÷ 5
39 ÷ 5 = 7 r4
There are 798 calories in six 10-ounce bottles of apple juice. How many calories are there in one 10-ounce bottle of apple juice?
798 ÷ 6 = 133 calories
45 ÷ 3 = (___÷ 3 ) + (___÷ 3 )
One possible response:
45 ÷ 3 = (30 ÷ 3 ) + (15 ÷ 3 )
45 ÷ 3 = 10 + 5
45 ÷ 3 = 15
232 ÷ 4. Use the distributive property to solve.
One possible answer:
232 ÷ 4 = (200 ÷ 4) + (32 ÷ 4)
232 ÷ 4 = 50 + 8
232 ÷ 4 = 58
72 ÷ 5 Draw a model using base ten blocks, to solve.
72 ÷ 5 = 14 r2
88 ÷ 7
88 ÷ 7 = 12 r4
There are 146 students, 5 teachers, and 8 chaperones going to the theater. To reserve their seats, they need to reserve entire rows. Each row has 8 seats. How many rows must they reserve?
159 ÷ 8 = 19 r8
So they would need to reserve 20 rows.
86 ÷ 2 = ( ___÷ 2 ) + ( ____÷ 2 )
One possible response:
86 ÷ 2 = (80 ÷ 2) + (6 ÷ 2)
86 ÷ 2 = 40 + 3
86 ÷ 2 = 43
There are 35 books in 7 equal stacks. How many books are in each stack? Use a bar model to find the quotient, and write the division equation.
35 ÷ 7 = 5
516 ÷ 5 Draw a model using base ten blocks, to solve.
516 ÷ 5 = 103 r1
Julie collected 78 leaves at the park for a pressed-leaf collection. If she places an equal number of leaves in each of 3 books, how many leaves will be in each book?
78 ÷ 3 = 26 leaves
There are 132 projects in the science fair. If 8 projects can fit in a row, how many full rows of projects can be made? How many projects are in the row that is not full?
132 ÷ 8 =16 r4
16 rows and 4 projects
208 ÷ 4 = (___÷ 4) + (___÷ 4)
One possible answer:
208 ÷ 4 = (200 ÷ 4) + (8 ÷ 4)
208 ÷ 4 = 50 + 2
208 ÷ 4 = 52

A. 40
B. 50
C. 60
D. 70
E. 80
B. 50
C. 60
Omar has 287 photographs of animals. If he wants to put the photos into 2 groups of the same size, how many photos will be in each group? Solve by drawing a model using base ten blocks and writing an equation.
287 ÷ 2 = 143 r1
516 ÷ 4
516 ÷ 4 =129
Mindy is preparing fruit boxes for gifts. She divides 36 apples evenly into 6 boxes. Then she divided 54 bananas evenly into the same 6 boxes. How many pieces of fruit are in each of Mindy’s boxes?
36 ÷ 6 = 6 54 ÷ 6 = 9
6 + 9 = 15 pieces of fruit
The Wilsons drove 324 miles in 6 hours. If they drove the same number of miles each hour, how many miles did they drive in 1 hour? Use the distributive property to solve.
One possible answer:
324 ÷ 6 = (300 ÷ 6) + (24 ÷ 6)
324 ÷ 6 = 50 + 4
324 ÷ 6 = 54
There are 8 volunteers at the telethon. The goal for the evening is to raise $952. If each volunteer raises the same amount, what is the minimum amount each needs to raise to meet the goal?
952 ÷ 8 = $119
