Elementary School Math Quiz: Divide By Two Digit Divisors

A library has $1{,}260$ stickers to place equally on $35$ reading charts. What is the quotient of $1{,}260\div 35$?

A library has $1{,}176$ books to place equally on $28$ shelves. A student says, "I can check my division by multiplying the quotient by $28$ to get $1{,}176$." What is the quotient of $1{,}176 \div 28$?

A coach has $864$ water bottles to pack equally into boxes that each hold $24$ bottles. Which statement gives the correct quotient and shows how multiplication can check the division $864\div 24$?

A teacher has $864$ pencils to pack equally into boxes that hold $24$ pencils each. What is the quotient of $864 \div 24$?

A science club has $672$ beads to make bracelets. Each bracelet uses $21$ beads. What is the quotient for $672\div 21$, and how does multiplication help check it?

A coach has $1{,}152$ water bottles to share equally among $32$ players. A student estimates $1{,}152 \approx 1{,}280$, and since $32 \times 40 = 1{,}280$, the quotient should be close to $40$. What is the quotient of $1{,}152 \div 32$?​​

A music teacher has $1{,}680$ rhythm cards and puts them into equal stacks of $42$ cards. What is the quotient of $1{,}680\div 42$?

A science club has $1{,}596$ beads to make bracelets. Each bracelet uses $28$ beads. What is the quotient of $1{,}596\div 28$?

A student says, "$1{,}248\div 26=48$ because $26\times 48=1{,}248$." Another student says, "No, the quotient is $480$ because $26$ goes into $124$ about $4$ times, so add a zero." Which claim about $1{,}248\div 26$ is incorrect?

A school bought $1{,}152$ pencils and packed them equally into boxes that hold $24$ pencils each. What is the quotient of $1{,}152\div 24$?

A band has $1{,}540$ flyers to hand out equally to $28$ students. Use estimation to think about the size of the quotient and then use multiplication to check the exact answer. What is the quotient of $1{,}540 \div 28$?

A school orders 3,276 pencils for the year. The pencils come in packages of 84 pencils each. The school wants to distribute all complete packages equally among 13 classrooms. How many packages will each classroom receive?

A librarian has 1,935 books to arrange on shelves. Each shelf holds exactly 43 books. After filling complete shelves, she finds there are some books left over that don't fill a complete shelf. How many complete shelves can she fill?

A cafeteria has $1{,}008$ apples to place equally into crates. Each crate holds $28$ apples. A student checks with multiplication: $28\times 30=840$ and $28\times 6=168$, and $840+168=1{,}008$. How does multiplication help check the result of $1{,}008\div 28$?

A class has $1{,}512$ crayons to share equally among $36$ students. Use estimation: $1{,}512$ is close to $1{,}440$, and $1{,}440\div 36=40$, so the quotient should be a little more than $40$. Division can be checked with multiplication: $36\times\text{quotient}=1{,}512$. What is the quotient of $1{,}512\div 36$?

A class has $1{,}296$ centimeter cubes to build equal towers. Each tower uses $27$ cubes. What is the quotient of $1{,}296 \div 27$?

A coach has $1{,}344$ water bottles to share equally among $32$ players. Estimation can help: $1{,}344$ is close to $1{,}280$, and $1{,}280\div 32=40$. Division can also be explained using multiplication (the quotient should make $32\times\text{quotient}=1{,}344$). What is the quotient of $1{,}344\div 32$?

A garden club has $1{,}584$ seeds and wants to plant them in equal rows with $33$ seeds in each row. Estimation: $1{,}584$ is close to $1{,}650$, and $1{,}650\div 33=50$, so the quotient should be a little less than $50$. Use multiplication to check: $33\times\text{quotient}=1{,}584$. What is the quotient of $1{,}584\div 33$?

A school orders $1{,}344$ stickers and packs them equally into bags of $21$ stickers each. Use an estimate to think about the size of the quotient and then use multiplication to check your exact answer. What is the quotient of $1{,}344 \div 21$?

A bakery has $1{,}248$ cookies to pack equally into trays. Each tray holds $26$ cookies.

A student breaks $1{,}248$ into $1{,}040 + 208$ and says, "Since $26 \times 40 = 1{,}040$ and $26 \times 8 = 208$, the quotient is $40 + 8$." This uses place value and the idea that division can be explained using multiplication relationships.

Which strategy correctly divides the numbers?
