Question

Angies grandma lives in cleveland, ohio,and is going to drive to minneapolis, minnesota to vist Angie and her family. The two cities are 752 travel miles apart, and it takes 12 hours to drive that far.

a) Angies grandma wants to do the drive in two days. If she drives the same amount each day, how many miles will she drive each day?

b) How many hours will she spend driving each day?

Answer 1

a) 752/2= 376
b) 6 hours.

Answer 2

well, divide by two to get what she drives each day

752/2 = ?
I am not sure how your class does division

7/2 = 3 remainder 1

thus 5 becomes 15 regrouping
15/2 = 7 remainder 1

thus 2 becomes 12 regrouping
12/2 = 6 NO remainder :)

so I get 376

b)
if she can do the whole trip in 12 hours she can do half the trip in 6 hours.
(I am sure you can divide 12 by 2)

Answer 3

Many third grades do division the way you and I learned, but more and more are using other methods that link into common core. I am not sure what methodology this student might be learning.
