How to work it out

Ask how many times 12 fits into 54. 12 × 4 = 48, and 12 × 5 = 60 is too big, so 12 goes into 54 exactly 4 times with 54 − 48 = 6 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 6 is 6/12 of another 12, and 6 ÷ 12 = 0.5. So 54 ÷ 12 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5.

Check your answer

Multiply back: 4 × 12 + 6 = 48 + 6 = 54. ✓
