Solve the Division Problem: 88:4 Step by Step

We will use the distributive property of division and split the number 88 into the sum of 80 and 8, which makes the division operation easier and allows us to solve the exercise without a calculator

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

$(80+8):4=$

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

$(80:4)+(8:4)=$

We will continue to solve according to the order of operations

$20+2=22$

Therefore the answer is option C - 22.

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

$88:4=(80+8):4=80:4+80:4=20+2=22$
