Question

Brianna and Gavin used partial quotients to show 552 divided by 23 see their work below which students correctly calculated the quotient explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct quotient is 24.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The dividend = 552

The divisor = 23

Therefore the quotient = 24 (552/23)

b) In mathematics, the number that is divided is the "dividend" (in this case, 552) and the number which the dividend is being divided by is the divisor or factor (23, in this case).  The resulting number from a division of a dividend by a divisor is called the quotient (in this case, 24).
