Division by a 2-Digit Number
Example : 16 people can sit in a boat. How many
boats are needed to carry 96 people ?
Solution : 96 ÷ 16 = ?
Step 1 : First estimate the quotient.
16 96 rounds to 20 100
To solve this we think of 10 ÷ 2 10 ÷ 2 = 5
The estimated quotient is 5.
Step 2 : Let us try the estimated quotient.
16 × 5 = 80 ; 16 × 6 = 96
The product is equal to the dividend.
Take that number as the actual quotient.
Step 3 : Divide :
6 Checking : Quotient = 6, Remainder = 0
16 96
16 × 6 = 96
– 96 Thus, 6 boats are needed to
carry 96 people.
