What this lesson shows
496 ÷ 24: 24 × 20 = 480 and 24 × 30 = 720, so the answer is between 20 and 30, and near 20.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 496 ÷ 24. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Think in tens of the divisor
- Find the two tens
- Pick the nearer one
Helping at home
Think in tens of the divisor: 24 × 20 = 480 and 24 × 30 = 720, so 496 ÷ 24 is between 20 and 30. Then ask which ten the dividend is nearer. Estimate only; no long division on this page.
If your kid gets stuck
Which two tens is it between? Which one is it nearer?
