Question

Write the division sentence that describes the hops in the numerical line.

• A. $16÷2$
• B. $16÷8$
• C. $8÷16$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B $16÷8$

8 is repeatedly subtracted from 16 to get the remainder as zero.

Here, we started from 16 and made 2 hops of 8 to the left (in the negative direction).
Hence, 8 is subtracted from 16, 2 times.
$\therefore 16÷8=2$, where 2 is the quotient and 0 is the remainder.
