Create a sample division problem with a 2-digit divisor and give an incorrect answer, showing the steps taken to get the incorrect answer.

Sample Problem: Divide 156 by 12.

Incorrect Answer: 15

Steps:

1. Divide: 12 into 15 goes 1 time.
- Write 1 above the 5.

2. Multiply: 1 times 12 is 12.
- Write 12 below the 15.

3. Subtract: 15 minus 12 equals 3.
- Bring down the next digit, 6, making it 36.

4. Divide: 12 into 36 goes 3 times.
- Write 3 above the 6.

5. Multiply: 3 times 12 is 36.
- Write 36 below 36.

6. Subtract: 36 minus 36 equals 0.

Final Incorrect Answer: 15

(Note: The correct answer should be 13, but the steps above show the process that leads to the incorrect answer of 15.)

Incorrect Answer Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem: We have a total of 28 candies that need to be divided evenly between 4 students.

(Incorrect) Solution: In order to solve this problem we can seperate the total number of candies into single digits and then divide each digit by 4 like so...

2 / 4 = 0.5

8 / 4 = 2

Now that we have the answer of both of these divisions we can simply add these values together to get the number of candies each student will get

0.5 + 2 = 2.5 candies

Final answer:

The division of 78 by 13 was shown with wrong steps leading to an incorrect answer of 66, while the correct answer is 6.

Explanation:

Let's create a division problem where we divide 78 by 13 and reach an incorrect answer. Here are the incorrect steps that someone might follow:

  1. First, notice that 1 in 13 goes into 7 in 78 six times, wrongly placing 6 on top of the division bracket.
  2. Then, multiply 13 by 6 to get 78 and subtract this from 78 to get 0.
  3. Bring the 8 down and repeat the process, noticing that 1 in 13 goes into 8 six times again, wrongly placing another 6 on top of the division bracket.
  4. Finally, multiply 13 by 6 to get 78 and subtract this from 78, getting an incorrect remainder of 0.

The incorrect answer following these steps would be 66 with no remainder, while the correct answer is actually 6 with no remainder.
