Question

kenia spent $270 on 6 chairs. to find out how much she spent on each chair, she did the following work in long division.
45
6$overline{)270}$
-24
30

• 30

0
did she do the problem correctly? why or why not?
a. no, because there is a remainder of 0.
b. no, because the first digit in the quotient should be 5, not 4.
c. yes, she worked the problem correctly.
d. no, because the problem should be 270 6

Explanation:

Step1: Verify division logic

We check if $270 \div 6 = 45$. Calculate $6 \times 45 = 270$.

Step2: Check long division steps

First, $6 \times 40 = 240$, subtract from 270 to get 30. Then $6 \times 5 = 30$, subtract to get 0.

Step3: Evaluate options

Option A is wrong (remainder 0 means exact division). Option B is wrong (first digit 4 is correct, as 6 can go into 27 four times). Option D is wrong (the division setup is correct).

Answer:

C. Yes, she worked the problem correctly.
