Example Question #25 : How To Divide
What is 14 divided by 5?
When 14 is divided by 5, the result is 2 with a remainder of 4. This is because 5 times 2 is 10, and 14 minus 10 is 4.
Therefore, the correct answer is 
Example Question #26 : How To Divide
If 17 divided by x is equal to 3 remainder 2, what is the value of x?
A simple way to solve this problem is to plug in one of the answer choices for x. If 5 is plugged in as x, 17 divided by 5 is 3 with a remainder of 2. This is because 5 times 3 equals 15, and 17 minus 15 is equal to 2.
Therefore, 5 is the correct answer.
Example Question #27 : How To Divide
Oliver has a map where 1.5 centimeters represents 2 city blocks. If her house is 7.5 centimeters from the bus stop, what is the distance in city blocks?
One of the ways to solve this problem is to divide 7.5 centimeters by 1.5 centimeters which will tell us how many times we travelled two blocks.
This gives us the answer 5.
This means that Oliver travelled 1.5 centimeters 5 times.
We know that each time he travels 1.5 centimeters, he goes two city blocks, so we can multiply.
Example Question #26 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
In order to divide fractions, we first take the reciprocal of the second fraction. To find the reciprocal, we switch the numerator and the denominator. So, the reciprocal of 
Then we multiply the first fraction and the reciprocal.
We then multiply the numerators together: 
Then we multiply the denominators together: 
We divide the numerator (25) by the denominator (24) to get
