Left Column:
1.
360 ÷ 6 = ?
$ 360 ÷ 6 = 60 $
*(Because 6 × 60 = 360)*
2.
810 ÷ 9 = ?
$ 810 ÷ 9 = 90 $
*(Because 9 × 90 = 810)*
3.
480 ÷ 8 = ?
$ 480 ÷ 8 = 60 $
*(Because 8 × 60 = 480)*
4.
560 ÷ 7 = ?
$ 560 ÷ 7 = 80 $
*(Because 7 × 80 = 560)*
5.
420 ÷ 6 = ?
$ 420 ÷ 6 = 70 $
*(Because 6 × 70 = 420)*
6.
960 ÷ 12 = ?
$ 960 ÷ 12 = 80 $
*(Because 12 × 80 = 960)*
7.
440 ÷ 11 = ?
$ 440 ÷ 11 = 40 $
*(Because 11 × 40 = 440)*
8.
320 ÷ 8 = ?
$ 320 ÷ 8 = 40 $
*(Because 8 × 40 = 320)*
9.
1440 ÷ 12 = ?
$ 1440 ÷ 12 = 120 $
*(Because 12 × 120 = 1440)*
10.
640 ÷ 8 = ?
$ 640 ÷ 8 = 80 $
*(Because 8 × 80 = 640)*

Right Column:
1.
240 ÷ 80 = ?
$ 240 ÷ 80 = 3 $
*(Because 80 × 3 = 240)*
2.
480 ÷ 60 = ?
$ 480 ÷ 60 = 8 $
*(Because 60 × 8 = 480)*
3.
490 ÷ 70 = ?
$ 490 ÷ 70 = 7 $
*(Because 70 × 7 = 490)*
4.
540 ÷ 90 = ?
$ 540 ÷ 90 = 6 $
*(Because 90 × 6 = 540)*
5.
720 ÷ 60 = ?
$ 720 ÷ 60 = 12 $
*(Because 60 × 12 = 720)*
6.
840 ÷ 120 = ?
$ 840 ÷ 120 = 7 $
*(Because 120 × 7 = 840)*
7.
210 ÷ 30 = ?
$ 210 ÷ 30 = 7 $
*(Because 30 × 7 = 210)*
8.
450 ÷ 90 = ?
$ 450 ÷ 90 = 5 $
*(Because 90 × 5 = 450)*
9.
880 ÷ 80 = ?
$ 880 ÷ 80 = 11 $
*(Because 80 × 11 = 880)*
10.
560 ÷ 70 = ?
$ 560 ÷ 70 = 8 $
*(Because 70 × 8 = 560)*

📝 Explanation:
These problems help students practice division with multiples of 10 and understand patterns in division. For example:
- When dividing a number ending in zero by a multiple of 10, you can often simplify by canceling zeros.
- Example: $ 480 ÷ 60 $ → both divisible by 10 → $ 48 ÷ 6 = 8 $
This builds number sense and mental math skills.
