Question

A museum accepts 153 new paintings every year.
If 1224 new paintings have been accepted in 8 years, the missing number in the division statement is .

• A. 2224
• B. 224
• C. 1224
• D. 124

Answer 1

The correct option is B 224

Total number of new paintings = $1224$.
Total number of years =$8$.

To find number of new paintings accepted in each year, divide $1224$ by $8$.

The division equation will be:
$1224÷8=153$.

∴ After expanding the division equation will become:
$1224÷8=(1000+224)÷8$
$=(1000÷8)+(224÷8)$

Solving the division method by box method and calculating the final quotient,


Also dividing $1224$ by $8$,


So, the final quotient $153$ matches with the quotient $153$ given in the division statement.

∴ The division statement can be completed as:


Therefore, the missing number in the statement will be $224$.
