      D DIVISIONIVISION
      When do you need to be able to divide? You need to be able to
      do short division in your head when you are shopping at the
      supermarket, when you are watching a sporting event, when you are
      handling money or splitting up food.
      If you have $30 to divide among 6 people, you need to be able to
      divide 6 into 30 to fi nd out how much money each person should
      receive. You would fi nd they receive $5 each.
      30 ÷ 6 = 5
      5 × 6 = 30
      If you want to calculate a baseball player’s batting average, you need
      to be able to calculate division problems. If a player has had 20 at
      bats and has made 8 base hits, then you divide the 8 base hits by 20
      at bats to get a batting average of .400.
      8 ÷ 20 = .400
      .400 × 20 = 8
