Question

Arrange these division statements in a manner so that the highest number as the answer is on the top.

• A. $200÷10$
• B. $150÷5$
• C. $24÷4$
• D. $6÷3$

Answer 1

Let's solve these statements one by one.

(i) $200÷10$

We can use rods and blocks method here. Let's start with expanding 200. There are 20 rods and 0 blocks in 200. Let's divide 20 rods by 10.

$20÷10=2$

This means each group will have 2 rods and 0 blocks.
2 rods = 20 blocks.

Therefore,

$200÷10=20$

Now, let's divide 150 by 5. Let's use rods and blocks method again.
There are 15 rods and 0 blocks here. Let's divide 15 rods among 5 groups.

$15÷5=3$

We get 3 rods.

And, 3 rods = 30 blocks.

Therefore:

$150÷5=30$

To divide 24 by 4, we can use skip backward counting:

24 to 20
20 to 16
16 to 12
12 to 8
8 to 4
4 to 0

To reach 0, we did skip backward counting 6 times.
Therefore,

$24÷4=6$

Let's divide 6 by 3. We can do this using skip backward counting.

6 to 3
3 to 0

We did skip backward counting 2 times. Therefore,

$6÷3=2$

Now, let's arrange these numbers from highest to lowest. We can see that 30 is the highest number. So, the correct order is: 30, 20, 6, 2.
