Review for Mastery: Interpreting the Quotient
There are three ways the decimal part of a quotient can be
interpreted when you solve a problem.
If the question asks for an exact number, use the entire
quotient.
If the question asks how many whole groups are needed
to
put the dividend into a group, round the quotient up to
the
next whole number.
If the question asks how many whole groups can be
made
To interpret the quotient, decide what the question is asking.
In the school library, there are tables that seat 4 students each.
If there are 30 students in a class, how many tables are needed
to seat all of the students?
To solve, divide 30 by 4.
30 ÷ 4 = 7.5
The question is asking how many tables (whole groups) are needed
to put all of the students in the class (dividend) into a group.
So, round 7.5 up to the next whole number.
8 tables are needed to seat all of the students.
Interpret the quotient to solve each problem.
1. A recipe that serves 6 requires 9 cups of milk. How much milk is
needed for each serving?
