  11. A11

    Calculate 2 × 0, and explain why.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 0

    The meaning of equal groups gives 0. One group preserves a quantity; zero groups give zero; zero split among nonzero groups is zero.

  12. A12

    Calculate 0 ÷ 9, and explain why.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 0

    The meaning of equal groups gives 0. One group preserves a quantity; zero groups give zero; zero split among nonzero groups is zero.

  13. A13

    239 oranges are packed into bags holding 6 each. How many FULL bags and how many oranges left?

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 39 bags, 5 left
