Let's break down both Brianna's and Gavin's work using partial quotients to divide 552 by 23.

Brianna's Work

  1. Step 1: Subtract \(20 \times 23\) from 552: \[ 552 - 460 = 92 \]
  2. Step 2: Subtract \(4 \times 23\) from 92: \[ 92 - 92 = 0 \]
  3. Step 3: Add your partial quotients: \[ 20 + 4 = 24 \]

So, Brianna concludes that \(552 \div 23 = 24\).

Gavin's Work

  1. Step 1: Subtract \(10 \times 23\) from 552: \[ 552 - 230 = 322 \]
  2. Step 2: Subtract \(10 \times 23\) from 322: \[ 322 - 230 = 92 \]
  3. Step 3: Subtract \(2 \times 23\) from 92: \[ 92 - 46 = 46 \]
  4. Step 4: Subtract \(2 \times 23\) from 46: \[ 46 - 46 = 0 \]
  5. Step 5: Add the partial quotients: \[ 10 + 10 + 2 + 2 = 24 \]

So, Gavin also concludes that \(552 \div 23 = 24\).

Conclusion

Both Brianna and Gavin arrive at the same answer, which is correct: \[ \boxed{24} \]
