Uriah is using a model to find the quotient of 8.4 ÷ 1.4. He starts by modeling the dividend, 8.4 as shown. He will separate the model into equal groups to represent the division. How many equal groups of 1.4 should he make?

Answer 1

To find the number of equal groups of 1.4 that Uriah should make, he needs to divide the dividend 8.4 by the divisor 1.4.

8.4 ÷ 1.4 = 6.

Therefore, Uriah should make 6 equal groups of 1.4.
