Find out how to divide on a quantity line?

Study to divide
utilizing quantity line to seek out the quotient.

We will do repeated subtraction on the quantity line to seek out division.

Allow us to discover 15 ÷ 5.

Thus, 15 ÷ 5 = 3

Solved Examples to point out Divide on a
Quantity Line:

1. Clear up 14 ÷ 7

Resolution:

7 is subtracted
repeatedly from 14 utilizing the quantity line

When 7 is subtracted 2 instances from 14 within the quantity line, then we get the rest zero.

Thus, 7 is subtracted from 14, 2 instances.

Therefore, 14 ÷ 7 = 2, 2 is the quotient.

2. Divide 40 ÷ 8

Utilizing the quantity
line 8 is subtracted repeatedly from 40

When 8 is subtracted
5 instances from 40 within the quantity line, then we get the rest zero.

Thus, 8 is
subtracted from 40, 5 instances.

Therefore, 40 ÷ 8 =
5, 5 is the quotient.

3. Clear up 24 by 6

Resolution:

6 is subtracted
repeatedly from 24 utilizing the quantity line

When 6 is
subtracted 4 instances from 24 within the quantity line, then we get the rest zero.

Thus, 6 will be
subtracted from 24, 4 instances.

Therefore, 24 ÷ 6 =
4, 4 is the quotient.

4. Divide 15 ÷ 3

3 is subtracted
repeatedly from 15 utilizing the quantity line

3 is subtracted
from 15, 5 instances within the quantity line, then we get the rest zero.

Thus, 3 will be
subtracted from 15 5 instances.

Therefore, 15 ÷ 3 = 5,
5 is the quotient.

5. Divide 63 ÷ 9

9 is subtracted
repeatedly from 63 utilizing the quantity line

9 is subtracted
from 63, seven instances within the quantity line, then we get the rest zero.

Thus, 9 will be
subtracted from 63 seven instances.

Therefore, 63 ÷ 9 = 7,
7 is the quotient.

On the quantity line, we are able to present repeated subtraction by counting backward in equal jumps.

6. Divide 12 by 2.

Begin from 12. Bounce backwards by taking jumps of two steps every. Cease at 0.

Be aware that 6 jumps are wanted to achieve 0.

12 – 2 = 10; 10 – 2 = 8; 8 – 2 = 6; 6 – 2 = 4; 4 – 2 = 2; 2 – 2 = 0

We write: 12 ÷ 2 = 6

We learn: 12 divided by 2 equals 6.

7. Divide 15 by 5.

Begin from 15. Bounce backwards by taking jumps of 5 steps every. Cease at 0.

Be aware that 3 jumps are wanted to achieve 0.

15 – 5 = 10; 10 – 5 = 5; 5 – 5 = 0

We write: 15 ÷ 5 =3 

We learn: 15 divided by 5 equals 3.

The above examples will assist us to resolve varied division issues on 1-digit quantity and 2-digit quantity by a single digit quantity utilizing quantity line.
