To determine which division problem Olivia solved, we should analyze the numbers involved.
Olivia’s problem involves dividing 314 by different divisors. The options are:
1. 314 ÷ 26
2. 314 ÷ 24
3. 314 ÷ 2
4. 314 ÷ 13
The process of division is essentially repeated subtraction if we break it down. Since Olivia tracked her subtraction, we want the divisor that would allow her to effectively and efficiently reach the quotient in her method of subtraction.
The division that would likely be done with repeated subtraction in reasonable increments large enough to keep track would be 314 ÷ 26.
Here’s the short explanation:
– 26 is reasonable. With each subtraction of 26, Olivia would be notably reducing 314 into manageable parts.
– Dividing by smaller numbers like 2 and 13 would require many more subtractions, making it less efficient and harder to track in such a manner.
So, the correct answer is 314 ÷ 26.
