Represent 56 ÷ 8 = 7 using subtraction. explain your reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship of division and subtraction:

If then            (Definition 1)

The given equation is

We need to prove this by subtraction.

Let

Here, a= 56 is dividend, b=8 is divisor and c=7 is quotient.

   (1st time)

   (2nd time)

   (3rd time)

   (4th time)

   (5th time)

   (6th time)

   (7th time)

It means we need to subtract 8 (total 7 times) from 56 to get 0.

Using definition (1) , we get

Hence proved.

the distance between point a and point b is 6 units

the answer is 288..

hope this
