Explanation:
We’re looking at patterns when we divide numbers that end in zeros. The trick is:
If you multiply the dividend (the number being divided) by 10, and keep the divisor (the number you’re dividing by) the same, then the quotient (the answer) also gets multiplied by 10.
Let’s check each pair:
1. First pair:
- 32 ÷ 8 = 4
- Now 320 ÷ 8:
320 is 32 × 10, so the answer should be 4 × 10 =
40
✔️ Check: 8 × 40 = 320 → correct.
2. Second pair:
- 21 ÷ 3 = 7
- 210 ÷ 3:
210 = 21 × 10 → answer = 7 × 10 =
70
✔️ Check: 3 × 70 = 210 → correct.
3. Third pair:
- 72 ÷ 8 = 9
- 7200 ÷ 8:
7200 = 72 × 100 → answer = 9 × 100 =
900
✔️ Check: 8 × 900 = 7200 → correct.
4. Fourth pair:
- 600 ÷ 10 = 60
- 6000 ÷ 10:
6000 = 600 × 10 → answer = 60 × 10 =
600
✔️ Check: 10 × 600 = 6000 → correct.
So all answers follow the pattern: add zeros to the dividend → add the same number of zeros to the quotient.
Final Answer:
40, 70, 900, 600
