Example Question #271 : Ged Math
If 10,000 is divided by 23, what is the remainder?
Do not use a calculator.
Use the long division process.
The remainder is 18.
Example Question #271 : Numbers And Operations
Forty friends are renting a party bus to the school prom. Rental of the party bus will cost $280 up front plus $20 per hour. The friends have the bus from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM.
The friends have agreed to split the cost evenly. How much will each pay?
From 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM will be
hours.
The bus will cost the students
,
which, divided evenly among 40 students, means that each will pay
.
Example Question #104 : Basic Operations
Divide and rewrite as a mixed fraction:
Rewrite both the numerator and denominator using factors of two.
Reduce this fraction.
The number 99 goes into 23 four times, since , and will have a remainder of seven.
The answer is:
Example Question #5 : Division
Divide the following:
To divide fractions, we will take the first fraction and multiply it by the reciprocal of the second fraction. To find the reciprocal of a fraction, the numerator becomes the denominator, and the denominator becomes the numerator. In other words, we will flip the fraction. So, we get
Example Question #273 : Ged Math
Which number is not a factor of 66?
Divide 66 by each of the four choices. The division that yields a nonzero remainder reveals the number that is not a factor.
66 divided by 6, 11, or 22 yields a zero remainder; 66 divided by 12 yields a nonzero remainder. Therefore, 12 is the nonfactor.
Example Question #6 : Division
Solve for :
In order to solve for , we'll need to move all of the variables on its side to the other side of the equation.
We can see that is currently the denominator to , so we need to move the in order to solve for .
To move the , we'll have to divide it on the other side. Keep in mind though that the is in the numerator, so it will stay in the numerator when it divides over.
We cannot proceed with the question as there is nothing left to do. Our variables are different and the can stay where it is.
Our answer is
Example Question #7 : Division
Solve for :
In order to solve for , we need to move all the numbers and variables to the other side of the equation.
We can see that is currently being multiplied by . In order to move the , we need to divide it on the other side of the equation.
Both and can be divided by , which in turn gets rid of the in the denominator.
We cannot proceed any farther since there is nothing left to do in the equation.
Our answer is
Example Question #7 : Division
Solve for :
In order to solve for , we'll need to move all the other variables to the other side of the equation. Currently is stuck to , so we need to move the to the other side.
In order to move , we'll have to divide it to the other side of the equation.
Since all the variables are different, we cannot do anything else to simplify this equation.
Our answer is
Example Question #272 : Numbers And Operations
Solve the equation:
Division is another way of seeing how many of the number we are dividing with is in the number we are dividing.
Let's take a look at . This is the number we are dividing, and is the number we are dividing with as told by their placement. We want to see how many 's there are in .
To figure this out, we'll add a each time until we get to .
We have now reached , so how many 's did it take us to get there? It took us 's to get to , and if you check with a calculator you will see that this is the answer as well.
Our answer is .
Example Question #272 : Numbers And Operations
Solve:
When a negative number is multipied by a positive number, the result is negative.
Therefore,
.
