Question

~Solve the following problem using any the area model strategy from lesson 6.2. Solve it in your notebook and then type the answer below.
360 ÷ 30 =

Answer 1

To solve \( 360 \div 30 \) using the area model strategy, we can break down the numbers involved.

1. **Set Up**: We want to divide 360 by 30. To make it easier, we can simplify the division by recognizing that both numbers can be scaled.

2. **Scaling Down**: We can simplify the divisor:
\[
30 = 3 \times 10
\]
So, we can revise the division as
\[
360 \div 30 \rightarrow \frac{360}{3 \times 10} = \frac{360 \div 3}{10}
\]

3. **Dividing 360 by 3**:
\[
360 \div 3 = 120
\]

4. **Dividing 120 by 10**:
\[
120 \div 10 = 12
\]

5. **Final Answer**: Thus,
\[
360 \div 30 = 12
\]

So, the answer is \( 12 \).
