Mathematics

Grade 5

Multiplication and division

Module 33

Division

Activity 1:

To be able to do mental arithmetic [lo 1.10]

  1. You already know how important it is to be able to do mental arithmetic. You also know how important it is to know your tables. Doing mental arithmetic and knowing your tables will help you do division correctly, too. Let us start right away! Do you also like dried sausage ("droëwors")? Work with a friend. Look closely at the two "sausage machines". The one who is first to give the answers is the fastest sausage maker!

Who won?

2. Work on your own and colour in according to the code: 4 = dark grey ; 5 = pink ; 6 = light grey ; 7 = black ; 9 = red.

3. Complete the tables:

34
3.1 Divided by 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Remainders 1 ............ ............ ............ ............ ............ ............
61
3.2 Divided by 2 5 6 7 8 9 10
Remainders 1 ............ ............ ............ ............ ............ ............

4. Let us see how well you do in the following mental test. Complete it as quickly and accurately as you can:

4.1 35 – 5 – 5 – 5 = ............ 4.11 108 – 12 – 12 – 12 = ............
4.2 64 – 8 – 8 = ............ 4.12 72 – 9 – 9 = ............
4.3 42 ÷ 7 = ............ 4.13 Halve: 612: ............
4.4 54 ÷ 6 = ............ 4.14 Halve: 487: ............
4.5 ............ ÷ 7 = 8 4.15 Halve: 1 036: ............
4.6 ............ ÷ 12 = 6 4.16 ............ ÷ 9 = 4
4.7 28 ÷ 4 = ............ 4.17 ............ ÷ 8 = 6
4.8 280 ÷ 4 = ............ 4.18 60 ÷ ............ = 5
4.9 280 ÷ 40 = ............ 4.19 36 ÷ ............ = 4
4.10 2 800 ÷ 40 = ............ 4.20 3 600 ÷ 90 = ............

DID YOU KNOW?

Division is the inverse of multiplication.

Thus: 5 × 3 = 1515 ÷ 3 = 5 en15 ÷ 5 = 3

When I want to check a division sum, I multiply. When I check a multiplication sum, I divide

Activity 2:

To recognise, describe and use the reciprocal relation between multiplication and division

[lo 1.12.1]

1. Now use your knowledge of the "inverse" to complete the following:

1.1 If 26 × 17 = 442, then 442 ÷ 17 = ................ and 442 ÷ ................ = 17

  • If 24 × 30 = 720, then 720 ÷ ................ = 24 and 720 ÷ 24 = ................

DID YOU ALSO KNOW?

When we divide, we do the following:

REPEATED SUBTRACTION

12 ÷ 3 = 12 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 = 4

GROUPING

12 ÷ 3: We must divide 12 into 3 equal groups

DIVISION

12 ÷ 3: We must divide 12 equally between 3

123

Activity 3:

To recognise and represent numbers and to describe and compare them [lo 1.3]

1. Let us do revision. Do you remember what happens when we divide any number by 1? Work with a friend and find the answers to the following:

1.1 5 ÷ 1 = .................................. 1.2 86 ÷ 1 = ............................

1.3 359 ÷ 1 = .............................. 1.4 4 625 ÷ 1 = .......................

1.5 32 174 ÷ 1 = .........................

2. Write down a rule for dividing by 1.

BRAIN-TEASER!

If 5 ÷ 1 = 5 and 86 ÷ 1 = 86, then:

1 ÷ 5 = .........................

1 ÷ 86 = .........................

1 ÷ 359 = .........................

1 ÷ 4 625 = .........................

Thus, if 1 is the dividend, then the answer is always a...........................................

Wayne and Dennis like to ride the bike path from Riverside Park to the beach. Dennis’s speed is seven miles per hour faster than Wayne’s speed, so it takes Wayne 2 hours to ride to the beach while it takes Dennis 1.5 hours for the ride. Find the speed of both bikers.

from theory: distance [miles] = speed [mph] × time [hours] info #1 speed_Dennis × 1.5 = speed_Wayne × 2 => speed_Wayne = 0.75 × speed_Dennis (i) info #2 speed_Dennis = speed_Wayne + 7 [mph] (ii) use (i) in (ii) => [...] speed_Dennis = 28 mph speed_Wayne = 21 mph
George
Let W be Wayne's speed in miles per hour and D be Dennis's speed in miles per hour. We know that W + 7 = D and W * 2 = D * 1.5. Substituting the first equation into the second: W * 2 = (W + 7) * 1.5 W * 2 = W * 1.5 + 7 * 1.5 0.5 * W = 7 * 1.5 W = 7 * 3 or 21 W is 21 D = W + 7 D = 21 + 7 D = 28

Shakir works at a computer store. His weekly pay will be either a fixed amount, $925, or $500 plus 12% of his total sales. How much should his total sales be for his variable pay option to exceed the fixed amount of $925.
mahnoor Reply
I'm guessing, but it's somewhere around $4335.00 I think
Lewis
12% of sales will need to exceed 925 - 500, or 425 to exceed fixed amount option. What amount of sales does that equal? 425 ÷ (12÷100) = 3541.67. So the answer is sales greater than 3541.67. Check: Sales = 3542 Commission 12%=425.04 Pay = 500 + 425.04 = 925.04. 925.04 > 925.00
