MTTC 103 Elementary Practice 2025 – 400 Free Practice Questions to Pass the Exam

Dividing 400 by 16 can be expressed in a way that breaks down both the numerator and the denominator into smaller, more manageable parts that still yield the same result. The fourth option shows how to do this by breaking 400 into two parts: 216 and 184.

When you calculate (216 / 16) + (184 / 16), you are effectively adding the results of two individual divisions. Since you have the same denominator (16) for both fractions, this can be simplified to (216 + 184) / 16, which equals 400 / 16. This means that the overall value of the expression remains equal to dividing 400 by 16, confirming its equivalency.

On the other hand, the other choices do not maintain this equivalency in the same way. The first option multiplies and subtracts in a manner that does not reflect a straightforward division, while the second option does not accurately represent the same numerical outcome through its divisions. The third option similarly breaks apart the divisions incorrectly, resulting in a different value altogether. Thus, the option that maintains the division in a manner equivalent to dividing 400 by 16 is the one that stands correct.
