1. In the equation 800 ÷ 10 = 8, the number 8 is the?
-
Dividend: The number being divided (800)
-
Divisor: The number you divide by (10)
-
Quotient: The result of the division (8)
-
Product: The result of multiplication — not relevant here
✔ So,
8 is the quotient.
Answer: C) Quotient

2. In the following equation, describe the underlined number: 252 ÷ 12 = 21
The underlined number is
252.
- 252 is being divided → this is the
dividend
- 12 is the divisor
- 21 is the quotient
✔ So,
252 is the dividend.
Answer: C) Dividend

3. In the following equation, describe the underlined number: 252 ÷ 12 = 21
Now the underlined number is
12.
- 12 is what we're dividing by → this is the
divisor
✔ So,

4. When dividing, the dividend always goes in what part of the division box? For example, 45 ÷ 9
In long division:
- The
dividend (the number being divided) goes
inside the division bracket.
- The
divisor (what you divide by) goes
outside, on the left.
For example:
```
____
9 | 45
```
So, 45 (dividend) is inside.
✔ Answer:
A) The dividend goes on the inside; what you're splitting up

5. When dividing, the divisor always goes in what part of the division box? For example, 45 ÷ 9
As above:
- The
divisor (9) goes
outside, on the left.
✔ Answer:
B) The divisor goes on the outside; what you divide by

6. Food for a hunger-relief program is shipped in 25-pound boxes. How many boxes will 2,650 pounds of food fill?
We need to divide total weight by weight per box:
$$
2650 ÷ 25 = ?
$$
Let’s do the division:
- 25 × 100 = 2500
- 2650 − 2500 = 150
- 25 × 6 = 150
So:
$$
25 × 106 = 2650
$$
✔ Therefore,
106 boxes are needed.
Answer: 106
