It takes 19.8 hours of work to plant a field of vegetables. Each person in the Fram family worked for 3.3 hours to help plant the field. How many people are in the Fram family? The dividend is The divisor is . The division problem is . The quotient is

Answer 1

To find out how many people are in the Fram family, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Number of people} = \frac{\text{Total hours needed}}{\text{Hours worked by each person}} \]

Given:

• Total hours needed to plant the field = 19.8 hours
• Hours worked by each person = 3.3 hours

Now, we need to set up the division problem:

• Dividend: 19.8 (total hours needed)
• Divisor: 3.3 (hours worked by each person)

So the division problem is:

\[ 19.8 \div 3.3 \]

Now, we calculate the quotient:

\[ 19.8 \div 3.3 = 6 \]

Thus, the number of people in the Fram family is 6.

To summarize:

• The dividend is 19.8
• The divisor is 3.3
• The division problem is 19.8 ÷ 3.3
• The quotient is 6.
