In the division problem Drew is working on, the terms can be defined as follows:

  • The value representing the number of bags (which is 31) is called the divisor.
  • The value representing the total number of snacks (which is 248) is called the dividend.
  • The value representing the number of snacks in each bag (result of the division) is called the quotient.

Thus, the full definitions in the context of Drew's division problem are:

  • Divisor: 31 (the number of bags)
  • Dividend: 248 (the total number of snacks)
  • Quotient: The result of dividing 248 by 31, which represents the number of snacks in each bag.
