Answer
$$ 110 $$
Answer for screen readers
$$ 110 $$
Steps to Solve
- Set up the division problem
We want to divide 550 by 5. We express this as:
$$ \text{Result} = \frac{550}{5} $$
- Perform the division
Now we will divide 550 by 5.
To do this, we can think of how many times 5 fits into 550.
- Calculate using long division or direct calculation
If you do long division, you can find how many times 5 goes into 55 (which is 11 times), and since the remaining 0 can be brought down,
$$ 5 \times 110 = 550 $$
- State the final result
Thus, the result of the division is:
$$ 550 \div 5 = 110 $$
$$ 110 $$
More Information
When you divide a larger number by a smaller number, you find out how many groups of the smaller number fit into the larger one. In this case, 5 fits into 550 a total of 110 times. Division is essentially the inverse of multiplication.
Tips
- Misplacing decimal points or forgetting to include them when dividing.
- Confusing addition and multiplication with division. It's important to remain focused on the operation being performed.
