Let’s solve each division problem using repeated subtraction on the number line. That means we start at the big number (the dividend) and subtract the divisor again and again until we reach 0. The number of times we subtract is the answer.

1) 20 ÷ 5 = ?
Start at 20, subtract 5 each time:
- 20 - 5 = 15 → 1 jump
- 15 - 5 = 10 → 2 jumps
- 10 - 5 = 5 → 3 jumps
- 5 - 5 = 0 → 4 jumps
