To find \( 45 \div 15 \) using a number line, let's break it down step by step using your template:
1. **Divided ÷ _ = quotient**: We are finding how many groups of 15 fit into 45.
2. **On the number line, 45 is divided into equal groups of 15**: We can visualize this by marking 0, 15, 30, and 45 on the number line.
3. **My dividend is _**: The dividend is the number we are dividing, which is 45.
4. **My divisor is _**: The divisor is the size of each group, which is 15.
5. **My quotient is the number of equal pieces I can make, or 3**: Since 15 fits into 45 exactly 3 times, the quotient is 3.
6. **45 ÷ 15 = _**: Therefore, \( 45 \div 15 = 3 \).
Putting it all together:
- My dividend is **45**.
- My divisor is **15**.
- My quotient is **3**.
- Therefore, \( 45 \div 15 = 3 \).
