Jacob says that 32 divided by eight
is four, and David says that 32 divided by eight is five. Who is right?
This question is all about dividing
by eight. Jacob thinks that 32 divided by
eight is four, and David thinks that 32 divided by eight is five. Who is correct? To help us work out the correct
answer to 32 divided by eight, we could use our knowledge of the eight times
table. One times eight is eight, two times
eight is 16, three times eight is 24, and four times eight is 32. So, who is correct? It’s Jacob. If four times eight is 32, that
means that there are four eights in 32. 32 divided by eight is four. So, Jacob is right. 32 divided by eight equals
four.
We used our knowledge of the eight
times table to help us divide by eight.
