Which situation is best modeled with a division expression?

Answer
A
finding the number of equal-sized parts into which a number can be split
B
finding the combined value of several different numbers
C
finding the distance between two numbers on a number line
D
finding the total value when several of the same number are grouped together

Explanation

Division can be used to determine how many equal-sized parts a number can be split into. For example, dividing 12 by 3 tells you how many groups of 3 fit into 12. Combining values uses addition, finding distance uses subtraction, and grouping equal numbers to find a total uses multiplication.
