Basic Division

(Whole Numbers)

40 ÷ 8 = Steps:

1. Set up the problem. (Review the vocabulary section).
2. Use a series of multiplication and subtraction problems to solve a division problem.
3. 8 x ?= 40 Multiply: 8 x 5 = 40 Subtract: 40-40= The quotient (or answer) is 5

672 ÷ 6 = Steps:

1. Set up the problem.
2. Begin with the hundreds place: o 6 x ?=6; we know 6 x 1 =6; Therefore, place the 1(quotient) above the 6 hundred (dividend). Place the other 6 under the hundred and subtract: 6-6= o Bring down the next number which is 7; 6 x? = 7. There is no number that can be multiplied by six that will equal seven exactly, so try to get as close as possible without going over 7. Use 6x1=6 and set it up just like the last subtraction problem. 7-6 = o Bring down the 2 from the dividend which results in the number 12 (the 1 came from the remainder of 7- 6=1). o 6x?=12;?=2 The two becomes the next number in the quotient. 12- 12=0. There is not a remainder. o The quotient (or answer) is 112.

Vocabulary Quotient : The answer to a division problem. Dividend : The number being divided. Divisor : The number by which the dividend is divided.

HESI Hints : The 5 represents the divisor, the 45 represents the dividend, and the 9 represents the quotient. It is the best not to leave a division problem with a remainder, but to end it as a fraction or a decimal point instead. To make the problem into a decimal, just add a decimal point and zeros at the end of the dividend and continue. If a remainder continues to occur, round to the hundredths place. Example: 233.547→ 233.55 (the 7 rounds the 4 to a 5)

Addition and Subtraction of Decimals

2.6 + 3.1 Steps :

1. Line up the decimal points.
2. Add the tenths together: 6 + 1 = 7
3. Add the ones together: 3 + 2 = 5
4. Final answer: 5.7 (5 and 7 tenths).

5 + 12.34 Steps :

1. Line up the decimal points. o It might be difficult to line up the 5 because it does not have a decimal point. Remember that after the ones place; there is a decimal point. IN order to help with organization, add zeros. Example: 5= 5.
2. Add the hundredths: 4 + 0 = 4
3. Add the tenths: 3 + 0 = 3
4. Add the ones: 2 + 5 = 7
5. Add the tens: 1 + 0 = 1
6. Final answer: 17.34 (17 and 34 hundredths).

Vocabulary : Place value (regarding decimals): Numbers to the right of the decimal point have different terms from the whole numbers to the left of the decimal point. Each digit in a number occupies a position; that position is called its place value.

7.21 – 4.01 Steps :

1. Line up the decimal points
2. Subtract the hundredths:
3. Subtract the tenths: 2 – 0= 2
4. Subtract the ones: 7 – 4 = 3
5. Final answer: 3.20 (3 and 20 hundredths).

HESI Hints : The word “and” when writing the number in words stands for the decimal. Example: 5.7 (five and seven tenths)

12 – 8.99 Steps :

1. Line up the decimal points.
2. Since twelve is a whole number, add a decimal point and zeros.
3. .00 - .99 cannot be subtracted; therefore, 1 must be borrowed from the 12 and regrouped.
4. The ones become 1, the tenths become 9, and the hundredths become 10.
5. Subtract the hundredths: 10 – 9 = 1
6. Subtract the tenths: 9 – 9 = 0
7. Subtract the ones: 11 – 8 = 3 o 1 was borrowed from the tens in order to subtract the 8. Final answer: 3.01 (3 and 1 hundredth).
