What is the result of 112 divided by 8? Use the number line to find the answer.

Question

A number line going from 0 to 128. The numbers 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, and 128 are marked on the line. Marks divide the spaces between each number into 2 equal parts.
7
14
16
28

Answer 1

To find the result of 112 divided by 8 using a number line, we can think of dividing the distance from 0 to 112 into 8 equal parts.

1. First, identify where 112 is located on the number line you provided. It is marked and can be seen between 96 and 128.

2. Next, find the distance from 0 to 112, which is 112.

3. Divide this distance into 8 equal parts:

   \[ 112 \div 8 = 14 \]

To visualize this on the number line, if you were to draw lines at intervals of 14 starting from 0, you would find points at:

• 0
• 14
• 28
• 42
• 56
• 70
• 84
• 98
• 112

Each segment represents a group of 14, and thus the result of 112 divided by 8 is 14.
