Given the statement:

85 divide by 4

Solution:

The statement can be rewritten into an numerical equation as,

= 85/4

In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. In the given case, the dividend is 85 and it is divided by 5 which is the divisor. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.

= 21.25

Now to check if the answer is correct, we multiply 21.25 by 4.

= (21.25)(4)

= 85

Final answer:

21.25
