Question 22 of 60beginner🔧 ApplyNumerical2 marks

64 ÷ 4 (using halving strategy)

Correct Answer

Step 1: To divide by 4, halve twice.

Step 2: Half of 64 = 32

Step 3: Half of 32 = 16

∴ 64 ÷ 4 = 16

Why it works: This strategy of repeated halving works well for divisors that are powers of 2 (like 2, 4, 8).

Explanation

To divide by 4, we can halve twice. Half of 64 is 32. Half of 32 is 16. So 64 ÷ 4 = 16. This strategy of repeated halving works well for divisors that are powers of 2 (like 2, 4, 8).

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: To divide by 4, halve twice

  2. Step 2: Half of 64 = 32

  3. Step 3: Half of 32 = 16
