What is 18 divided by 3?

• A. 3
• B. 9
• C. 6
• D. 12

Answer: (C)

To find the result of 18 divided by 3, you can think about how many groups of 3 fit into 18. When you perform the division, you are essentially asking how many times you can subtract 3 from 18 until you reach zero.

Breaking it down:

• Start with 18.

• The first group of 3 (subtracting) gives you 15.

• The second group of 3 reduces it to 12.

• The third group reduces it to 9.

• The fourth group brings it down to 6.

• The fifth group brings you to 3.

• Finally, the sixth subtraction gets you down to 0.

Since you can subtract 3 a total of 6 times before reaching zero, 18 divided by 3 equals 6.
