Explanation:
Let’s solve each one by subtracting the same number over and over until we get to zero. The number of times we subtract is the answer.
1) 49 ÷ 7
Start with 49. Subtract 7 each time:
49 - 7 = 42
42 - 7 = 35
35 - 7 = 28
28 - 7 = 21
21 - 7 = 14
14 - 7 = 7
7 - 7 = 0 → We subtracted 7 seven times. So, 49 ÷ 7 = 7.
2) 50 ÷ 10
Start with 50. Subtract 10 each time:
50 - 10 = 40
40 - 10 = 30
30 - 10 = 20
20 - 10 = 10
10 - 10 = 0 → We subtracted 10 five times. So, 50 ÷ 10 = 5.
3) 16 ÷ 4
Start with 16. Subtract 4 each time:
16 - 4 = 12
12 - 4 = 8
8 - 4 = 4
4 - 4 = 0 → We subtracted 4 four times. So, 16 ÷ 4 = 4.
4) 48 ÷ 8
Start with 48. Subtract 8 each time:
48 - 8 = 40
40 - 8 = 32
32 - 8 = 24
24 - 8 = 16
16 - 8 = 8
8 - 8 = 0 → We subtracted 8 six times. So, 48 ÷ 8 = 6.
5) 27 ÷ 9
Start with 27. Subtract 9 each time:
27 - 9 = 18
18 - 9 = 9
9 - 9 = 0 → We subtracted 9 three times. So, 27 ÷ 9 = 3.
That’s it! Just keep subtracting the same number until you hit zero. Count how many times you did it — that’s your answer.
