create up to 5 smaller friendly equations to solve 424 divided 22. use division

1 answer

Certainly! To divide 424 by 22, we can break it down into smaller, more manageable equations. Here are five friendly equations that can help solve the larger division problem:

  1. Divide 220 by 22
    \( 220 \div 22 = 10 \)

  2. Divide 200 by 22
    \( 200 \div 22 = 9.09 \) (approximately, or just consider whole numbers for a simpler breakdown)

  3. Divide 40 by 22
    \( 40 \div 22 = 1.81 \) (approximately)

  4. Combine the results from divisions
    To get a better estimate, we can sum the whole number parts:
    \( 10 + 9 + 1 = 20 \) (Sum of whole numbers gives an estimate)

  5. Account for the remainder
    We can check the remainder by multiplying:
    \( 20 \times 22 = 440 \)
    Since 440 is greater than 424, now consider one less:
    \( 19 \times 22 = 418 \)
    Remainder will be:
    \( 424 - 418 = 6 \)

Putting this together, \( 424 \div 22 = 19 \) with a remainder of 6. The final answer can also be expressed as: \[ 424 \div 22 = 19 + \frac{6}{22} \approx 19.27 \]
