Why do you use division to solve a multiplication problem and why do you use multiplication to solve a division problem?
Not sure about the first part of the question, but when doing long division, the partial answer is multiplied by the divisor to get a product, which then is subtracted from the dividend, to see how much is left over.
Estimating the quotient helps you place the first digit in the quotient of a division problem?
Yes, that's true.
What is the order of math?
P.E.M.D.A.S is how i remember it Parentheses Exponent Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction also, whichever comes first in the problem goes first, but this only works with multiplication and division and also addition and subtraction but only multiplication with division and addition with subtraction
In order of operation what comes after expontes?
after exponents comes multiplication and/or division from left to right depending on which comes first in the problem. the comes addition and/or subtraction from left to right depending on which comes first in the problem parentheses exponents multiplication division addition subtraction another way to remember order of operations is: please = parentheses excuse = exponents my = multiplication dear = division aunt = addition sally = subtraction
What it's the number called that its to be divided in a division problem?
The number that is going to be divided is called the dividend (or the first number in a division question), while the number that is going to do the dividing is called a divisor (the second number in the division sentence/equation). Example: 8 divided by 2 = 4 8 is the dividend 2 is the divisor 4 is the quotient, or the solution to the problem. (8 is the )

What is the first number in a division sentence?
Not sure what your question is. If what you are asking is for the terms used in a division problem, they are: (1) the divisor: the number that is being used to divide by; (2) the dividend: the number that is being divided; and (3) the quotient: the result (or answer) of the division.

How do you write a division sentence?
you can write a division sentence by writing lets say 20/2. You have to have a big number first like 20 then a division sign / then a smaller number that goes in to the numbe 20 which can be 2 then you put an equal sign = then the answer which is 10. that's how to right a division sentence.
