00:03 Let's use the distributive law
00:07 Let's break down 354 into 300 plus 54
00:12 Let's break down 54 into 30 plus 24
00:22 Let's divide each factor separately
00:42 Let's solve each division and then sum
00:51 And this is the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

In order to simplify the resolution process, we begin by breaking down the number 354 into a smaller addition exercise.

It is easier to choose round whole numbers, and also to consider numbers that are easily divisible by 3.

Hence the following calculation:

(300+54):3= (300+54):3=

Once again, for the purpose of facilitating the resolution process, we break down 54 into a smaller addition exercise.

Just as in the previous calculation we choose round numbers and numbers divisible by 3.

We obtain the following:

(300+30+24):3= (300+30+24):3=

We then divide each of the terms within the parentheses by 3:

300:3=100 300:3=100

30:3=10 30:3=10

24:3=8 24:3=8

We finish by adding up all the results we obtained:

100+10+8=110+8=118 100+10+8=110+8=118

Answer

118
