Let’s solve each division problem step by step. We’re dividing numbers by 3. That means we’re asking: “How many groups of 3 are in this number?” or “What times 3 equals this number?”
We’ll go row by row, left column first, then right column.
---
Left Column:
1.
3 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 3 divided by 3 is 1. Because 3 × 1 = 3.
✔ Answer:
1
2.
12 ÷ 3 = ?
→ Think: What times 3 is 12? 4 × 3 = 12.
✔ Answer:
4
3.
15 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 5 × 3 = 15.
✔ Answer:
5
4.
30 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 10 × 3 = 30.
✔ Answer:
10
5.
21 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 7 × 3 = 21.
✔ Answer:
7
6.
6 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 2 × 3 = 6.
✔ Answer:
2
7.
18 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 6 × 3 = 18.
✔ Answer:
6
8.
27 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 9 × 3 = 27.
✔ Answer:
9

Right Column:
9.
24 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 8 × 3 = 24.
✔ Answer:
8
10.
42 ÷ 3 = ?
→ Let’s think: 3 × 14 = 42? Yes! (3×10=30, 3×4=12; 30+12=42)
✔ Answer:
14
11.
33 3 = ?
→ 11 × 3 = 33.
✔ Answer:
11
12.
39 3 = ?
→ 13 × 3 = 39. (3×10=30, 3×3=9 → 30+9=39)
✔ Answer:
13
13.
45 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 15 × 3 = 45.
✔ Answer:
15
14.
9 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 3 × 3 = 9.
✔ Answer:
3
15.
36 ÷ 3 = ?
→ 12 × 3 = 36.
✔ Answer:
12
16.
0 ÷ 3 = ?
→ Zero divided by any number (except zero) is always 0.
✔ Answer:
0

Now let’s list all answers in order as they appear on the worksheet:
Left column top to bottom:
1, 4, 5, 10, 7, 2, 6, 9
Right column top to bottom:
8, 14, 11, 13, 15, 3, 12, 0
Final Answer:
1, 4, 5, 10, 7, 2, 6, 9, 8, 14, 11, 13, 15, 3, 12, 0
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of divided by 3 worksheet.
