Let’s solve each division problem by looking at the arrays (groups of blue circles).
---
First row:
1.
12 ÷ 4 = ?
The array shows 12 circles arranged in 3 rows and 4 columns.
That means we are splitting 12 into groups of 4.
How many groups of 4 can we make from 12? → 3 groups.
So, 12 ÷ 4 =
3
2.
40 ÷ 10 = ?
The array has 40 circles — 4 rows with 10 circles each.
We’re dividing 40 into groups of 10.
How many groups of 10? → 4 groups.
So, 40 ÷ 10 =
4
3.
15 ÷ 5 = ?
Array shows 15 circles — 3 rows of 5.
Dividing 15 into groups of 5 → 3 groups.
So, 15 ÷ 5 =
3

Second row:
4.
8 ÷ 2 = ?
Array: 8 circles — 2 rows of 4, or 4 rows of 2? Actually, it’s 2 rows of 4, but since we’re dividing by 2, think: how many groups of 2?
You can group them as 4 pairs → 4 groups of 2.
So, 8 ÷ 2 =
4
5.
16 ÷ 2 = ?
Array: 16 circles — 2 rows of 8.
Dividing into groups of 2 → you get 8 groups.
So, 16 ÷ 2 =
8
6.
10 ÷ 5 = ?
Array: 10 circles — 2 rows of 5.
Groups of 5 → 2 groups.
So, 10 ÷ 5 =
2

Final Answer:
3, 4, 3, 4, 8, 2
