Explanation:

Use the short division (“bus stop”) method to divide by a whole number. Work from left to right, dividing each digit by the divisor and carrying any remainder onto the next digit. If there is a remainder at the end, add a decimal point and trailing zeros (.00) to continue dividing.

When dividing by a decimal, never put a decimal outside the bus stop. Write the division as a fraction and multiply both numbers by 10, 100, or 1000 until the divisor is a whole number, then divide as normal.

Example 1: Work out 4536 ÷ 7

Solution:

Set up the bus stop: 7 ) 4 ⁴5 ³3 ⁵6

• 7 into 4 = 0 remainder 4 (carry 4 to make 45)

• 7 into 45 = 6 remainder 3 (carry 3 to make 33)

• 7 into 33 = 4 remainder 5 (carry 5 to make 56)

• 7 into 56 = 8 remainder 0

Answer: 648

Example 2: Work out 14.4 ÷ 0.06

Solution:

Write as a fraction and multiply top & bottom by 100:

14.40.06 × 100100 = 14406

Now divide 1440 by 6 using the bus stop:

• 14 ÷ 6 = 2 r 2; 24 ÷ 6 = 4; 0 ÷ 6 = 0

Answer: 240

61 × 67 = 4087 ⇒ 6.1 × 6.7 = 40.87 B1

Answer (b): Answer 40.87

Part (c) Solution:

63 × 66 = 63 × 65 + 63 = 4095 + 63 = 4158 M1 A1

Answer (c): Answer 4158

Worked Solution & Mark Scheme (3 marks)

Part (a) Solution:

30 ÷ 8 = 3.75 → 4 adults M1 A1

Answer (a): 4

Part (b) Solution:

30 + 2 = 32 and 32 ÷ 8 = 4 adults C1

Answer (b): No, because 4 adults can look after up to 32 children (4 × 8 = 32)

Part (a) Solution:

23 ÷ 4 = 5 r 3 → 5 jars M1 A1

Answer (a): 5

Part (b) Solution:

At £2 per jar, 23 ÷ 2 = 11.5 → 11 jars (not 10) C1

Answer (b): No, he can buy 11 jars (23 ÷ 2 = 11.5), which is more than twice 5
