How to interpret the division?

When 'a' is divided by 'b', then the result we get from the division is the part of 'a' that each one of 'b' items will get.

Thus, if 10 mangoes are there, and 2 people, then 10 ÷ 2 is the number of mangoes each person would get, which is 5.

Division, thus, can be interpreted as equally dividing the number that is being divided in total x parts, where x is the number of parts the given number is divided.

Thus, $a \div b$ = a divided in b equal parts.

Also, we can write: $a \div b = a \times \dfrac{1}{b}$

(it is since a = a times 1 so $a/b = 1 \times (a/b) = (1/b) \times a$)

For this case, we're given that:

• Cost of 6 songs to Jackson = $7.80

Assuming that cost of each song was equal, say $c,  then:

Dividing 7.80 in 6 parts will give the price of each song.

Thus, we get:

$c = \dfrac{7.80}{6} = 1.30 \: \rm dollars$

Thus, the cost of each of the song that jackson downloaded is $1.30
