Example
Work out
Answer
Use these nine quarter apples to help.
We can make two whole apples and a spare quarter.
We can write the answer like this:
= two and a quarter
When we divide 9 by 4, the answer is 2 1/4. The 1 is the remainder and the 4 is the divisor.
Remember also that two quarters make a half.
Right, let's have a go at some questions!
