Q. In which story could you use the quotient

42 \div 6

to answer the question?

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)Jake is making bookmarks out of ribbon for his local library. He has

42

inches of ribbon. If he cuts

6

inches of ribbon for each bookmark, how many bookmarks can he make?

\newline

(B)Jake is making bookmarks out of ribbon for his local library. He has

42

inches of ribbon. He trims the ends of the ribbon, removing

6

inches in all. How much ribbon does he have left to make bookmarks?

Understand Problem: Step $1$ : Understand the problem and identify the correct story. $\newline$ We need to find a scenario where dividing $42$ by $6$ answers the question. In choice (A), dividing $42$ inches of ribbon by $6$ inches per bookmark tells us how many bookmarks Jake can make. In choice (B), subtraction is needed, not division.
Perform Division: Step $2$ : Perform the division to confirm the scenario from choice (A). $\newline$ Calculate $42 \div 6$ to find out how many bookmarks can be made. $\newline$ $42 \div 6 = 7$
