Let's break this down step by step.
-
First, we need to calculate \( 23 - 18 \): \[ 23 - 18 = 5 \]
-
Now, we need to determine the correct answer to the problem \( 293 \div 9 \). Performing the division: \[ 293 \div 9 \approx 32.5556 \] However, the quotient can also be expressed as a whole number with a remainder: \[ 9 \times 32 = 288 \] This means the remainder when dividing 293 by 9 is: \[ 293 - 288 = 5 \] Thus, we can express the answer as: \[ 293 \div 9 = 32 \quad \text{with a remainder of } 5 \]
So, summarizing:
- The correct answer to \( 23 - 18 \) is \( 5 \).
- Therefore, the correct answer to \( 293 \div 9 \) is approximately \( 32\) (with a remainder of \( 5 \), or \( 32.5556 \) if considering decimal).
In the context of filling in blanks:
- The answer to \( 23 - 18 \) is \( 5 \).
- The correct answer to \( 293 \div 9 \) is \( 32 \) (or \( 32.5556 \)).
