Carter wants to use a model above to solve 273 / 13 explain how you got that answer

1 answer

To solve 273÷13 using a model, you can apply the process of long division. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how to get the answer:

  1. Set Up the Division: Write down 273 (the dividend) inside the long division symbol and 13 (the divisor) outside.

  2. Divide: Start by seeing how many times 13 can fit into the first part of 273.

    • 13 does not fit into 2, so look at the first two digits, 27.
    • 13 goes into 27 twice because 2×13=26.
  3. Multiply and Subtract:

    • Write 2 above the division bar (this is the first part of your quotient).
    • Multiply 2 (the quotient) by 13 (the divisor) which equals 26.
    • Subtract 26 from 27: 2726=1
    • Bring down the next digit, which is 3, making it 13.
  4. Repeat the Process: Now, divide 13 by 13.

    • 13 goes into 13 exactly once.
    • Write 1 next to the 2 in the quotient (making it 21).
    • Multiply 1 by 13, which equals 13.
    • Subtract 13 from 13: 1313=0
  5. Final Result: Since there are no more digits to bring down and the remainder is 0, you have fully divided.

Thus, the answer to 273÷13 is 21.
