Question

Find 45/15 using a number line.
my dividend is _________
my divisor is __________

Answer 1

To find \( \frac{45}{15} \) using a number line, you can visualize the process of dividing the number 45 into equal parts of 15.

1. **Dividend:** Your dividend is **45**.
2. **Divisor:** Your divisor is **15**.

Now, you can think of the number line as starting from 0 and extending to 45. You will mark divisions of length 15 along the number line:

- Start at 0, mark the first point at 15.
- The next point will be at 30 (15 + 15).
- The next point will be at 45 (30 + 15).

You have made 3 equal divisions of 15 to reach 45. Thus, \( \frac{45}{15} = 3 \).

So the completed statements are:
- My dividend is **45**.
- My divisor is **15**.
