Write and solve a real world problem that involves a two digit divisor and a four digit dividend

Well this one certainly seems easier than the last one!

It is important to know that dividend is the number that will be "sliced up" into a number of parts using the divisor.

Let's start with the four digits. What is something that can be counted that often comes in four digits. I think of people. Maybe 2,000 of them.

We have to have a reason to divide the people up into groups. How about we put them on buses?

Here we go:

There were 2000 people taking a tour to Washington D. C. Each bus can carry 50 people. How many buses will the tour guide need?

2000 divided by 50 will give us that answer.

2000/50 = 40 buses. Wow! That's a lot of buses! But it is what we will need.

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
