Question 3: Division 20
1. Use a clue board to find the answer for 386 ÷ 49 [5]
386 ÷ 49 49 x 2 = 98
386 – 98 = 288
288 – 98 = 190
190 – 98 = 92
92 – 49 = 43
386 ÷ 49 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 rem 43

2. A class has 26 children in it. If they want to buy a gift for their teacher’s birthday which
costs R899.
How much money must each child contribute to buying the gift? [5]
899 ÷ 26 26 x 4 = 104
899 – 104 = 795 26 x 2 = 52
795 – 104 = 691
691 – 104 = 587
587 – 104 = 483
483 – 104 = 379
379 – 104 = 275
275 – 104 = 171
171 – 104 = 67
67 – 52 = 15
899 ÷ 26 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 2 = 26 rem 15.
Each child must contribute R27, there will be a small amount left over but
rather too much than too little.
3. Tarryn and Thando are doing the following division sum: 459 ÷ 51.
Tarryn gets an answer of 12 while Thando gets an answer of 9. Who has the correct
answer? Show all your working out. [6]
459 ÷ 51 51 x 2 = 102
459 – 102 = 357
357 – 102 = 255
255 – 102 = 153
153 – 102 = 51
51 – 51 = 0
459 ÷ 51 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 9
Thando is correct.

4. Use multiplication to check if the following sum is correct:
567 ÷ 25 = 23 [4]
25 x 23
= 25 x (20 x 3)
= 25 x 20 + 25 x 3
= 500 + 75
= 575
No the sum is not correct.
