Dividing Decimals Quiz

Grace has 3456 candies and wants to distribute them equally among 12 friends. How many candies will each friend receive?

Answer explanation

To divide 3456 by 12 using the standard algorithm, we find that 12 goes into 34 two times (2x12=24), leaving 10. Bringing down the next digit (5), we have 105. 12 goes into 105 eight times (8x12=96), leaving 9. Bringing down the last digit (6), we have 96. 12 goes into 96 exactly eight times. Thus, the quotient is 288.
