Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this division problem, we will divide the number 48 by 4 and find the quotient.

The expression for this calculation is:

484 \frac{48}{4}

Let's perform the division:

  • We start with the number 48.
  • We divide 48 by 4. The question we are asking is: "How many times does 4 go into 48?"
  • By calculating, we find that 4 fits into 48 exactly 12 times.

The steps can be broken down as follows:

  • 4 goes into the first digit of 48 (4), 1 time.
  • The remainder from this division is 0, bring down the next digit, which is 8.
  • 4 goes into 8, 2 times (as 4 × 2 = 8).
  • There is no remainder, confirming the division is complete.

Thus, the quotient of 48 divided by 4 is:

12 12

Therefore, the correct answer is 12, which corresponds to choice 4.

Answer

12 12
