Answer 1

To find the result of \( 36 \div 9 \) using the number line, we can count how many divisions of 9 fit into 36.

On the number line, the relevant points to note are multiples of 9:

• 0
• 9
• 18
• 27
• 36

Starting from 0, we can count by 9s:

• From 0 to 9
• From 9 to 18
• From 18 to 27
• From 27 to 36

Each jump of 9 counts as one division.

Therefore, we have made 4 jumps of 9 to reach 36:

1. 9
2. 18
3. 27
4. 36

Thus, \( 36 \div 9 = 4 \).

The correct answer is 4.
