 To the Learner

Hi! Children! Good morning! We are small familiar of

simple problems. Let us read and solve series of word problem
later.

Let’s Learn This

Solving one-step word problems involving division of 5- or

more digit numbers by 3- or more digit number including
money.

Let’s Try This

What is the hidden message?

Check your answer using the key to correction. If your score

is 7-9, you may now proceed to this module. If you get 6 correct
answers or below, review first the previous lessons.

Let’s Study This

Read the problem below and analyze the solutions presented

for you.

Mr. Siñod, a factory owner has 125 workers. The weekly

pay of the workers is 212 500.00. How much does each
worker earn weekly?

Now, let us solve the problem step by step for you to

understand the process of finding the solutions.

• What is asked in the problem?

The weekly income of each worker.
• What are the given facts?
125 workers
212 500 – weekly pay of all the workers
• What is the operation to be used?
division
• What is the number sentence?

152
 212 500.00 ÷ 125 = N
• Solution:
1700
125 212500
-125

1 700 is the weekly income of each worker.

Check your answer if it is correct.

125 x 1 700 = P 212 500

Since the product is equal to the dividend then, your

answer is correct.
