16 divided by 4 = 4
32 divided by 4 = 8
36 divided by 4 = 9
8 divided by 2 = 4

1 answer

The diagram you described, with 8 ovals each containing 4 squares, illustrates the division problem \(32 \div 4 = 8\).

Here's the reasoning:

  • There are 8 ovals.
  • Each oval contains 4 squares.
  • If we think of it in terms of total squares, there are \(8 \times 4 = 32\) squares in total.
  • Therefore, when dividing the total number of squares (32) by the number of squares in each oval (4), we calculate \(32 \div 4 = 8\), which indicates that there are 8 ovals.

The other division problems do not reflect the information given in your description as accurately as this one.
