Division Using the Area of a Rectangle

The video tutorial explains how to solve the division problem 780 / 12 by using the concept of a rectangle's area. It starts by defining the terms dividend, divisor, and quotient. The tutorial then uses the analogy of a rectangle's area to represent the division equation, where the area is the dividend, the width is the divisor, and the length is the quotient. By estimating and calculating the area of rectangles, the tutorial demonstrates how to find the quotient, which is 65. The lesson concludes by reinforcing the relationship between multiplication and division.

What is the area of the remaining portion of the rectangle after calculating the area of the first rectangle?

What are the lengths of the two rectangles drawn to represent the area of 780?

How do you calculate the total length of the rectangle when given the area and width?
