Which division problem does the number line below best illustrate?

Question

A number line going from 0 to 2. Arrows go from 0 to 2, from 2 to 4, from 4 to 6, from 6 to 8, and from 8 to 10.

10 divided by 2 = 5
15 divided by 3 = 5
50 divided by 5 = 10
20 divided by 10 = 2

Answer 1

The number line you described illustrates the division problem 10 divided by 2 = 5.

Here’s the reasoning:

• The number line progresses from 0 to 10 in increments of 2 (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10).
• When you count how many times you can fit the number 2 into 10, it fits 5 times (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10).
• Therefore, the division problem represented by the number line is indeed 10 divided by 2 = 5.
