The owner of Animal Lovers Pet Shop just got a delivery of 315 bags of cat food and you need to put the bags on 9 shelves. How many bags will be put on each shelf? Explain the long division steps you used to find your answer.

Sample Response: Divide 9 into 31, multiply 9 and 30 to get 270, subtract 270 from 315 and get 45. Divide 9 into 45, multiply 9 and 5, and get 45, subtract 45 from 45 and get 0. The answer is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 9 into 315 and get 35 bags.

Divide 9 into 31, multiply 9 and 30 to get 270, subtract 270 from 315 and get 45. Divide 9 into 45, multiply 9 and 5, and get 45, subtract 45 from 45 and get 0. The answer is 35.

315 divided by 9 is 35, so there will be 35 bags on each shelf.
