Explanation:
We are given a worksheet where we need to solve division problems using repeated subtraction. That means instead of dividing directly, we subtract the divisor (the number we’re dividing by) repeatedly from the dividend (the number we’re dividing) until we reach zero. The number of times we subtract is the answer.
Let’s go row by row and fill in the missing parts.
1.
44 ÷ 11 — Already done as an example:
44 − 11 = 33
33 − 11 = 22
22 − 11 = 11
11 − 11 = 0
→ 4 subtractions → Answer:
4
2.
24 ÷ 3
Start with 24. Subtract 3 each time:
- 24 − 3 = 21
- 21 − 3 = 18
- 18 − 3 = 15
- 15 − 3 = 12
- 12 − 3 = 9
- 9 − 3 = 6
- 6 − 3 = 3
- 3 − 3 = 0
Count the steps: 8 subtractions → Answer:
8
3.
14 ÷ 7
- 14 − 7 = 7
- 7 − 7 = 0
→ 2 subtractions → Answer:
2
4.
40 ÷ 8
- 40 − 8 = 32
- 32 − 8 = 24
- 24 − 8 = 16
- 16 − 8 = 8
- 8 − 8 = 0
→ 5 subtractions → Answer:
5
5.
50 ÷ 10
- 50 − 10 = 40
- 40 − 10 = 30
- 30 − 10 = 20
- 20 − 10 = 10
- 10 − 10 = 0
→ 5 subtractions → Answer:
5
6.
15 ÷ 5
- 15 − 5 = 10
- 10 − 5 = 5
- 5 − 5 = 0
→ 3 subtractions → Answer:
3
7.
36 ÷ 12
- 36 − 12 = 24
- 24 − 12 = 12
- 12 − 12 = 0
→ 3 subtractions → Answer:
3
Let me double-check each one quickly:
- 3 × 8 = 24
✔
- 7 × 2 = 14
✔
- 8 × 5 = 40
✔
- 10 × 5 = 50
✔
- 5 × 3 = 15
✔
- 12 × 3 = 36
✔
All correct.
Final Answer:
8, 2, 5, 5, 3, 3
