                  3.  16 gulab jamuns are to be put on 4 plates. Can you do it by drawing gulab jamuns

                       on these plates?

                       Also, write the division fact.

                  DIVISION BY REPEATED SUBTRACTION

                  Repeated subtraction can also be used for division.

                  Anil has 8 marbles. He wants to fill the bowls with

                  marbles.

                  He puts 2 marbles into a bowl.

                                                               8 – 2 = 6       ...(1)

                  Then, he puts 2 marbles into a second bowl.

                                                               6 – 2 = 4       ...(2)

                  Then, he puts 2 marbles into a third bowl.

                                                               4 – 2 = 2       ...(3)

                  Finally, he puts the remaining 2 marbles into a fourth

                  bowl.

                                                               2 – 2 = 0       ...(4)

                  Here, 2 is subtracted 4 times from 8.

                  Also, 8 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 = 0

                  Thus, division is actually repeated subtraction.

                  We can write ‘subtracting 2 repeatedly 4 times’ as 8 ÷ 2 = 4.
