Solve the Division Problem: 224 ÷ 16

We will use the division distributive law and split the number 224 into the sum of 160 and 64, which makes the division operation easier and allows us to solve the exercise without a calculator

Reminder - The division distributive law essentially allows us to split the larger term in a division exercise into a sum or difference of smaller numbers, which makes the division operation easier and allows us to solve the exercise without a calculator

$(160+64):16=$

We will use the formula of the distributive law $(a+b):c=a:c+b:c$

$(160:16)+(64:16)=$

We will continue to solve according to the order of operations

$10+4=14$

Therefore the answer is option B - 14.

And now let's see the solution of the exercise centralized:

$224:16=(160+64):6=160:16+64:16=10+4=14$
