The Library charges a fine of 10 cents each day if you return a book late. Maura paid a fine of 80 cents. How many days late was her book?

Would you use multiplication or division to solve this problem?

Multiplication, because I need to find how many in all.

Division, because I need to find how many in all.

    8 days late; C, division to find equal groups.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to find how many days, we must divide 80 by 10 to find how many groups of 10, aka, how many days, there are.

    80/10 = 8

    This means her book was 8 days late.

    You're dividing to find equal groups because you need to find equal groups of ten cents to determine the number of days.
