DIVISION PROBLEMS 3.5 ANSWERS
1) How many years in 60 months? 60 ÷ 12 = 5. There are 5 years in 60 months. 2) There are 8 pens in a packet. I need 40 pens. How many packets should I buy? 40 ÷ 8 = 5. He needs to buy 5 packets. 3) Newton shares 49 slugs between 7 newts. How many slugs does each newt get? 49 ÷ 7 = 7. Each newt gets 7 slugs. 4) A car game takes 5 minutes to play. How many games could I play in an hour? 60 ÷ 5 = 12. You could play 12 games in an hour. 5) A blue whale’s heart beats about 6 times in a minute. How long would it take to beat 48 times? 48 ÷ 6 = 8. The blue whale’s heart would take 8 minutes. 6) A duck’s heart beats about 80 times in 20 seconds. How many times would it beat in just one second? 80 ÷ 20 = 4. It’s heart would beat about 4 times in 1 second. 7) A snail can travel 9 feet in an hour. How long would it take to travel 72 feet at this speed? 72 ÷ 9 = 8. It would take 8 hours to travel 72 feet.
