Question

Choose the correct answer:
The quotient when 9 divided by 4 is

• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2

Let's solve this question using number line with the help of Burgy.
Here the dividend is 9.
So, Burgy starts from 9 and jumps toward the left to reach 0.

Divisor = 4
$\therefore$ Each hop has a length of 4 units.


Burgy makes 2 complete jumps before crossing 0. Since he cannot reach 0 with another complete jump, the remainder is 1
$\therefore$ Quotient = 2 with a remainder of 1.
