Division: sharing, grouping and remainders worksheet: Answers and working

1. 4, 2
Ring them 5 at a time and count the full groups; any left that don't make 5 are the leftover.
Each row of 5 is a group: 4 full rows, and the last has only 2, too few: 22 ÷ 5 = 4 r 2.
2. 20 ÷ 2 = 10
20 ÷ 2: ÷2 is halving, 10 + 10 = 20
3. 10 ÷ 10 = 1
10 ÷ 10: ÷10 takes a zero off → 1
4. 80 ÷ 8 = 10
80 ÷ 8: think "8 times what makes 80?", 8 × 10 = 80
5. 8 ÷ 4 = 2
8 ÷ 4: think "4 times what makes 8?", 4 × 2 = 8
6. 2 × 7 = 14
2 × ? = 14 is 14 ÷ 2: 2 × 7 = 14
7. 2 × 10 = 20
2 × ? = 20 is 20 ÷ 2: 2 × 10 = 20
8. 50 ÷ 9 → rem 5
50 ÷ 9: the largest multiple of 9 not past 50 is 9 × 5 = 45, 50 − 45 = 5, so the remainder is 5
9. 11 ÷ 4 → rem 3
11 ÷ 4: the largest multiple of 4 not past 11 is 4 × 2 = 8, 11 − 8 = 3, so the remainder is 3
10. 10 cars
Work out 73 ÷ 8 first. If anyone is left over, they still need a car.
73 ÷ 8 = 9 r 1: the 1 left need a car too, so round up: 10.
11. 8, 9
Work out 80 ÷ 9 first. The full boxes answer one part; do the leftover dumplings need another box?
80 ÷ 9 = 8 r 8: 8 full boxes (drop it); the 8 left need a box too, 9 in all (round up).

12. D
Check two things in each picture: are there 5 groups, and are they equal, making 20 in all?
It needs 5 equal groups making 20 in all: 4 in each.

Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.

13. 2 sweets
Sharing among 8 friends is 16 ÷ 8. What do you multiply 8 by to get 16?
Shared equally: 16 ÷ 8 = 2.
14. Ka-yee buys 2 identical pens for $20 altogether. How many dollars does each pen cost? (Answer: 10 dollars)
20 ÷ 2 = 10
15. Ming has $33. Notebooks cost $11 each. How many notebooks can he buy at most? (Answer: 3 notebooks)
33 ÷ 11 = 3
16. Each box holds the same number of cocktail buns. 9 boxes hold 27 altogether. How many cocktail buns are in each box? (Answer: 3 cocktail buns)
27 ÷ 9 = 3
17. 35 pupils go boating, and each boat takes at most 6. What is the smallest number of boats they need so that everyone can get on? (Answer: 6 boats)
35 ÷ 6 = 5 R 5; the 5 left over need a boat too: 5 + 1 = 6
18. 8 boxes
Work out 67 ÷ 9 first. Any eggs left over still need a box.
67 ÷ 9 = 7 r 4; the 4 left need a box too: 8.
