 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here
to help you comprehend problem-solving. The scope of this
module permits it to be used in many different learning situations.
The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of
students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them
can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now
using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

• solve routine and non-routine problems involving division of
2- to 4-digit numbers by1- to 2-digit numbers without or with
any of the other operations of the whole numbers including
money using appropriate problem-solving strategies and
tools.

Enjoy your journey. Good luck!

Lesson
Problems Involving Division of
1 2-to 4-Digit Numbers by 1-to 2-
Digit Numbers

Problem Solving is the process of finding solutions to difficult or

complex issues. Word problems can be classified as routine or
non-routine. Routine problem solving involves using at least one of
the four arithmetic operations and/or ratio to solve practical
problems. A non-routine problem is any complex problem that
requires some degree of creativity or originality to solve. Typically
do not have an immediately apparent strategy for solving them.
Oftentimes, these problems can be solved in multiple ways.

What’s In

Recall the steps in answering word problems and solve the

problem below mentally.
Miss Reyes has 80 books in Mathematics. She wants to divide
these books equally among 4 sections. How many books will each
section receive?

 What’s New

In solving word problems, it does not only involve one operation.

Sometimes, it requires two or more operations in order to solve a
certain problem.

Activity 1
Read the problem and answer the questions that follows:
A farmer packed 96 kilos of chicken feeds into 12 kilo bags. If a
bag of chicken feeds was sold for ₱400.00 each, how much did
he earn?

 What are the hidden facts?
Answer: The number of 12-kilo bags packed

2. Plan. Knowing all the needed information and data,

determining what operations to use.
What operations to be used?
Answer: Division and Multiplication
What is the number sentence?
Answer: (96÷12) x ₱400.00 = N

3. Solve. Perform the operations. Do the operation inside the

parenthesis first. 8
(96 ÷ 12) x ₱400.00 = N 12 96 P400.00
8 x ₱400 = P320.00 96 x 8
0 P3 200.00
4. Answer. State the complete answer.
A farmer earned ₱3 200.00
