DIVISION

Class 3 (Study Material)

SHREYA HAS 15 ORANGES

SHE WANTS TO PACK THESE INTO BASKETS OF 3 ORANGES

LET US SEE HOW MANY BASKETS ARE NEEDED TO PACK ALL THE ORANGES.

SO IF WE SUBTRACT 3
REPEADETLY FROM 15 TO
GET 0, 3 IS SUBTRACTED 5
TIMES FROM 15
So, 5 baskets are needed to pack all the oranges equally, with 3 oranges in each basket.

15÷ 3= 5
WE READ 15÷ 3= 5 AS :
FIFTEEN DIVIDED BY THREE IS EQUAL TO FIVE.
