Where should a dividend go when using the standard algorithm for division?
A) Inside the "house"
B) Outside the "house"
C) It depends on which number is bigger
D) On top of the "house"
A) Inside the house
The dividend will always go on the inside because that is the number that is being broken up. The divisor goes on the outside. The quotient will go on top.
******It does not matter which number is greater. We can do 4 ÷ 50 and make 50 groups with 0.08 in each

A bushel of apples weighs about 42 pounds. There are 4 pecks in a bushel. It takes 2 pounds of apples to make one pie. How many pies can you make with one peck of apples?
*Hint: How many pounds are in 1 peck?
Divide 42 by 4 to find out that 1 peck is 10.5 pounds
Divide 10.5 by 2 to find out how many apple pies can be made (5.25)
That means you can make 5 apple pies. (You won't have enough ingredients to make a sixth)
