At an airport, shuttle buses take passengers from the parking lot to the terminal. To transport 96 passengers, 4 shuttle buses are needed. How many passengers can fit on each bus?

• 20

• 24

• 28

• 32

What are two different ways that you can break apart 96 to make it easier to divide by 4?

• Break 96 into 80 and 16

• Break 96 into 90 and 6

• Break 96 into 100 and -4

• Break 96 into 50 and 46

An airplane has 165 seats. There are 5 seats in each row. How many rows of seats are there?

• 30

• 31

• 32

• 33

Draw an area model to represent 165 ÷ 5.

• A rectangle with dimensions 33 by 5

• A rectangle with dimensions 165 by 1

• A rectangle with dimensions 5 by 5

• A rectangle with dimensions 165 by 5

How does using partial quotients to divide relate to using an area model to represent the division?

• Using partial quotients is a method that can be visually represented by an area model.

• Partial quotients and area models are unrelated methods of division.

• An area model is a more advanced technique than partial quotients.

• Partial quotients are used only for multiplication, not division.

Use partial quotients to find 862 ÷ 7.

• 123

• 122

• 124

• 121

Using partial quotients to divide is similar to using repeated subtraction to divide because both methods:

• involve breaking down the dividend into smaller, more manageable parts.

• require memorizing multiplication tables.

• are faster than traditional long division.

• use estimation to find the quotient.

How many packs does Hank put on each airplane?

• Hank loads 100 snack packs on each plane.

• Hank loads 150 snack packs on each plane.
