We can use area models to represent division problems involving three-digit numbers.
Let's consider the area model below.
To determine the missing length, we consider the area of the yellow rectangle (the one on the left-hand side).
The area of the yellow rectangle is and its width is Hence, the length of this rectangle must be
To carry out this division, we write as a product with as one of the factors and then swap the order of multiplication and division:
We can now add this length to the area model.
From left to right, find the missing numbers in the area model below.
We need to look at the blue and pink rectangles:
Let's first look at the blue rectangle (the one on the left-hand side). Its area is and its width is Therefore, the length of the rectangle must be To carry out this division, we write as a product with as one of the factors and then swap the order of multiplication and division: Let's add this to our model:
Now, let's look at the pink rectangle (the one on the right-hand side). Its area is and its width is Therefore, the length of the rectangle must be Let's add this to our model:
Therefore, from left to right, the missing numbers are and

Leonard packed apples into bags. One bag holds apples. Using the area model below, find how many bags of apples Leonard packed.
To determine the number of bags Leonard packed, we need to calculate
Let's first look at the blue rectangle (the one on the left-hand side). Its area is and its width is Hence, the length of this rectangle must be To carry out this division, we write as a product with as one of the factors and then swap the order of multiplication and division: Let's add this to our model:
Now, let's look at the pink rectangle (the one on the right-hand side). Its area is and its width is Hence, the length of this rectangle must be Let's add this to our model:
Now, notice the following regarding the big rectangle:
its length is
its width is
its area is
Therefore, this area model can be used to represent the following multiplication problem:
Writing this as a division problem, we get
Therefore, Leonard packed bags of apples.
