Solve: . What is ?
- 9
- 8 (correct answer)
- 49
- 7
Explanation: Since 56 divided by 8 equals 7, the missing number is 8. Choice A (9) gives 56 divided by 9, which does not equal 7. Choice C (49) is 7 times 7, not the missing divisor. Choice D (7) repeats the known quotient instead of finding the missing number.
