Let's analyze the work done by Brianna and Gavin to find out who calculated the quotient correctly.
Brianna's Work
-
Step 1: Subtract \(20 \times 23\) from 552.
\(552 - 460 = 92\) (Correct)
Partial quotient so far: \(20\) -
Step 2: Subtract \(4 \times 23\) from 92.
\(92 - 92 = 0\) (Correct)
Partial quotient so far: \(20 + 4 = 24\) -
Final Result: The total partial quotients are \(24\).
Gavin's Work
-
Step 1: Subtract \(10 \times 23\) from 552.
\(552 - 230 = 322\) (Correct)
Partial quotient so far: \(10\) -
Step 2: Subtract \(10 \times 23\) from 322.
\(322 - 230 = 92\) (Correct)
Partial quotient so far: \(10 + 10 = 20\) -
Step 3: Subtract \(2 \times 23\) from 92.
\(92 - 46 = 46\) (Correct)
Partial quotient so far: \(20 + 2 = 22\) -
Step 4: Subtract \(2 \times 23\) from 46.
\(46 - 46 = 0\) (Correct)
Partial quotient so far: \(22 + 2 = 24\) -
Final Result: The total partial quotients are \(24\).
Conclusion
Both Brianna and Gavin added their partial quotients correctly, leading to a final partial quotient of \(24\) for each of their methods.
Therefore, the correct answer for \(552 \div 23\) is: \[ \text{Quotient} = 24 \]
Both students calculated the quotient correctly with the same result.
