Meaning of Division
Look for these other meanings when
you are solving a word problem.
One meaning of division is to
put objects into equal groups.
But there are other
meanings too.
• To share
Zach and his friend are going to share
3 apples equally. How many apples will
each boy have?
• To take away equal amounts
Isabel is making bookmarks from a piece of
ribbon. Each bookmark is 6.5 centimeters long.
How many bookmarks can she make from a
piece of ribbon that is 26 centimeters long?
26 cm
6.5 cm
6.5 cm
6.5 cm
6.5 cm
• To find how many times greater
The Nile River, the longest river on Earth,
is 4,160 miles long. The Rio Grande River
is 1,900 miles long. About how many times
as long is the Nile than the Rio Grande?
Nile River 4,160 mi
Rio Grande 1,900 mi Rio Grande 1,900 mi
Practice
Identify the meaning of division shown in each problem. Then solve
the problem.
1. The Jackson family wants to buy a flat screen television that costs
$1,200. They plan to pay in six equal payments. What will be the
amount of each payment?
2. A full-grown blue whale can weigh 150 tons. An adult African elephant
weighs about 5 tons. How many times as great does a blue whale
weigh than an African elephant?
3. Each story in an office building is about 4 meters tall. The Eiffel Tower
in Paris, France, is 300 meters tall. How many stories tall is the Eiffel
Tower?

3. What two operations did you use in Exercises 1 and 2?
Explain how to find the answer to Exercise 2 using these
operations.
A numerical expression like 3 × 2 + 4 × 4 is a combination of
numbers and operations. The order of operations tells you which
operation to perform first so that everyone finds the same value
for an expression.
Order of Operations
1. Simplify the expressions inside grouping symbols, like parentheses.
2. Find the value of all powers.

Algebra is a language of symbols including variables. A variable
is a symbol, usually a letter, used to represent a number.
Algebraic expressions contain at least one variable and at least
one operation. For example, the expression n + 2 represents the
sum of an unknown number and two.
Any letter can be
used as a variable.
+
The letter x is often used as a variable. To avoid confusion with the
symbol ×, there are other ways to show multiplication.

class, she learned that the expression

number of sides of a figure, can be used
to find the sum of the degree measures
of all of the angles. What is the total
number of degrees of the 8-sided picture
frame she is making for a project?
180(n - 2) = 180(8 - 2) Replace n, the number of sides, with 8.
= 180(6)
Subtract.
= 1,080
Multiply.
So, the total number of degrees is 1,080°.

About Variables and Expressions
When addition or subtraction signs separate an algebraic expression into
parts, each part is called a term. Like terms contain the same variables.
For example, 3x and 6x are like terms. But 4x and 7y are not like terms.
A term without a variable is called a constant. In the expression below,
10 is a constant.

Main Idea Solve problems by acting them out.
Act It Out
ARIANA: I am organizing cafeteria tables for our
volleyball banquet. The tables are rectangular
and can seat 6 people. If we line up the tables,
we could put more tables in the cafeteria and
seat more people. I wonder how many people we can
seat with four tables.
YOUR MISSION: Act it out to determine the number
of people that can be seated with four tables.
Understand
You know that the rectangular tables can seat 6 people, the tables will be lined
up, and Ariana has four tables.
Plan
Draw a rectangle to represent one table.
Use counters to represent people seated.
Solve
Find the number of people that can be seated at four tables.
Four tables can seat 18 people.
Check
Use the expression 4x + 2, where x represents the number of tables.
So, 4 × 4 + 2 = 18.

15 + (5 + 8) and (15 + 5) + 8
The numbers are grouped differently. They are equivalent by
the Associative Property.
So, 15 + (5 + 8) = (15 + 5) + 8.
(20 - 12) - 3 and 20 - (12 - 3)
The expressions are not equivalent because the Associative
Property is not true for subtraction.
So, (20 - 12) - 3 ≠ 20 - (12 - 3).
34 + 0 and 34
The expressions are equivalent by the Identity Property.
So, 34 + 0 = 34.
20 ÷ 5 and 5 ÷ 20
The expressions are not equivalent because the Commutative
Property does not hold for division.
So, 20 ÷ 5 ≠ 5 ÷ 20.

Do you love riding the twisting, turning, plunging slides at water parks? Do you

about a career designing water slides! Water slide engineers apply engineering
principles, the newest technology, and their creativity to design state-of-the-art
water slides that are both innovative and safe. These engineers are responsible
for designing not only the winding flumes that riders slide down, but also the
pumping systems that allow the slides to have the appropriate flow of water.
