Tucker started to divide 947 by 19.

Is the first digit of his quotient correct?

Yes, it's correct.

No, it should be 4.

No, it should be 6.

Look at how Tucker started to divide 947 by 19.

He says 19 goes into 94 5

First, multiply 19 by 5.

The product of

is greater than 94. That means 5 times is too many.

So, find how many times 19 can go into 94. Start with the number before 5 and keep going until you find a product less than or equal to 94.

94 is between the products of

and

So, Tucker is not

The first digit of his quotient should be
