Good day student and pupils, here in a lesson to solved word problems that involved dividing a given number to share in order to find the missing number. This mathematics is too logical when its comes to exercises and examples, ell its also easy to learn.in this particular one, its all about common division of numbers that all know.
Without wasting much of our time lets hits the nail at once.
Examples
1.If a basket can contain 56 mangoes. How many basket will 504 mangoes fill?
Now, a basket contains 56 mangoes
there-fore 504 will fill (504/58)baskets (divide 504 by 58 first then till the last number)
find common divisor to reduce the numbers lastly you apply normal division method)
504
= -------
56
252
= -------
28
126
= --------
14
63
= --------
7
504 mangoes will fill 9 baskets.
Yes, that means 56 into 9 places will make 504 mangoes, the same this as 9 x 59 = 504.
Note: our common dividend in the above example is 2 ( 2 is the only common number that can divide in process till the last division)
2.Here is another one, 6 bags of an onion contain 564 pieces of onions .How many onions will a bag fill?
one bag contains 94 onions
564 onions will fill (564/ 6)
564
= --------
6
188
= ------
2
94
= ------
1
= 94
Do yo know why its that way? because since 96 goes to 564 6 times ( 6 x 94 =564 ) and the common divisor is 3 and 2.
3.Share 299 groundnuts equally among 13 pupils. How many does each pupil get?
13 pupils each will go with 23 groundnuts
229
= ---------
13
= 23 groundnuts
4.1 packet of pencil contains 14 pencils. How many packets do 798 pencil fill?
a packet of pencil = 14
then 798 pencil will fill (798 / 14)
798
= --------
14
= 399
---------
7
= 57 packets of pencils
4. If one factor of 4 182 is 123,what is the other factor?
4182
= ----------
123
= 34 other factor.
factor

34 x 123 = 4 182

5. a car travels 525km in 7 days. what is the average distance travelled in a day?
per distance in a day = 75
525km
-----------
7days
= 75 average distance
7 x 75 = 525
Where 7 are days
while 75 is an average
6. 5 boxes cost 625 Naira. How much does each box cost?
a box cost = 125 Naira (N125.00)
5 boxes x 125 = 625
If you notice all the examples you'll notice that it division method that i used so just follow my method and solve these.
1. Pencils are packed into boxes that hold 24 pencils. If you have 3 672 pencils, how many boxes have you?
2. Banana tress are planted in rows of 125.if there are 6 750 tress, how many rows are planted?
3. How many places of ribbon each 4cm long can be cut from a roll of a ribbon 576 long?
4. 14 x u = 504. Find u?
