Math Homework

Use the following steps to guide you.

Look at the dividend.  In the example above it is 16.
Draw an array/picture showing 16 candies.

c c c
c c c
c c c
c c c
c c c
c

How many equal groups of 3 can you make if you have 16 candies?

You can make 5 groups of 3.  You have 5 groups and in each group you have 3 candies.

Write the 5 which is the quotient in the ones column above the dividend.

How many candies have you used in total when you made 5 groups of 3.
You used 15 candies. Write 15 under the 16 which is the dividend.
Now subtract the new total from the 16 your dividend and you will get a remainder of 1.

To prove your work multiply the divisor of 3 and the quotient 5 so 3x5=15.
Add the remainder  3x5=15+1=16 and you will get 16.


Solve the following questions using the steps above to guide you.

a) 3 √ 18
b) 4 √ 22
c) 5√ 36
d) 6√ 43
e) 7 √ 51
f) 8 √ 59
g) 9 √ 60
