Example Question #13 : How To Divide
Which number is divisble by 
The trick here is recognize which number is divisible by six with no remainder. If you add the digits of an even number together, anytime that those digits equal a sum that is divisible by three, the number itself will be divisble by six with no remainder.
To find a number that would have a remainder of 
Example Question #14 : How To Divide
Ron is drinking a vanilla ice blended beverage. It is 18 ounces. He finishes one third of it. How many ounces remain?
8 ounces
16 ounces
17 ounces
12 ounces
12 ounces
If Ron's drink is 18 ounces, one third is equal to 6 ounces. Because 18 minus 6 is 12, 12 ounces is the correct answer.
Example Question #261 : Numbers And Operations
Which of the following numbers is divisible by 9 without a remainder?
A trick to help determine when a number is divisble by 9 without a remainder is to add the units together and see whether the sum of the units is divisible by 9.
For the number 63, 
Example Question #101 : Operations
Gerry is splitting a 16 ounce hamburger between himself and 3 friends. If he divides the hamburger equally, how many ounces does each friend get?
5.5 ounces
4 ounces
7 ounces
8 ounces
6 ounces
4 ounces
If Gerry is sharing the hamburger with 3 friends, that means that there are 4 people total who are sharing the 16 ounce hamburger. To determine how many ounces each person would get, 16 should be divided by 4.
Therefore, 4 ounces is the correct answer.
Example Question #102 : Operations
3 friends are sharing 12 cookies equally between them. How many cookies does each person get?

Given that there are 12 cookies and 3 friends, the number of cookies that each friend can have is the result of 12 divided by 3.
Each person would get 4 cookies.
Example Question #103 : Operations
Annette bought a television of $1,000, but can't afford to pay for it all at once. The most that she can pay each month is $50. How many months will it take her to pay off the television?

Example Question #104 : Operations
What is the remainder when 2411 is divided by 8?
No remainder
Use long division to solve.
8 goes into 24 three times with no remainder, so the first digit of the answer is 3.
8 goes into 1 zero times, so the next digit is zero. The 1 carries to amke the next division 8 into 11.
Finally, 8 goes into 11 once with a remainder of 3. This makes the last digit of the answer 1, with a remainder of 3.
Final answer:
The final remainder is 3.
Example Question #11 : How To Divide
