Dividing Two Whole Numbers Yielding a Decimal Quotient

This lesson demonstrates how to divide 3 by 4 using a 10x10 array. It begins by explaining the structure of the array and how each square represents a fraction of the whole. The lesson then shows how to represent the number 3 using arrays and divide it into four groups. The process involves sharing columns among the groups and handling remaining columns by converting them into squares. Finally, the lesson concludes with the result of the division, showing that 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75.

What does each square in a 10 by 10 array represent?

• 1/10 of the array

• 1/100 of the array

• 1/2 of the array

• 1/4 of the array

How many arrays are used to represent the dividend 3?

• 1 array

• 3 arrays

• 4 arrays

• 2 arrays

How many columns does each group have after sharing?

• 6 columns

• 8 columns

• 7 columns

• 5 columns

What do we do with the remaining two columns?

• Add them to one group

• Combine them into 20 squares

• Discard them

• Ignore them

What is the final result of dividing 3 by 4 using the array?

• 0.85

• 0.75

• 0.65

• 0.5
