Questions

Watch the video “Division: Leaving Remainders as Fractions” and answer the following questions based on the information presented in the video.
1.
According to the video, what is the first division problem demonstrated, and what is its remainder when initially calculated?
2.
For the division problem 37÷437 \div 4, the video explains how to convert the remainder into a fraction. What is the fractional part of the answer?
3.
In the last example, 127÷5127 \div 5, what is the final answer expressed as a mixed number?
4.
When leaving a remainder as a fraction, as explained in the video, where does the original divisor go in the fraction?
  1. It becomes the numerator.
  2. It becomes the denominator.
  3. It is multiplied by the remainder.
  4. It disappears from the answer.
5.
The video states that leaving remainders as fractions is a “more sophisticated way” to express answers than using “r.” (remainder). Explain why this is the case, using one of the examples from the video to illustrate your point.
