pronunciation - How to say 24 divided by 8 equals 3


Pretty sure you have to use 割 but I don't know which pronunciation to use and how to say "equals" in this context.



Answer



It's read as 「24割る8は4」「にじゅうよんわるはちはよん」[nijuu yon waru hachi wa yon]. (I think we often say「24割る8イコール4」「にじゅうよんわるはちイコールよん」[nijuu yon waru hachi ikooru yon] after junior high school...) Wait, 24÷8=...4? Isn't it 3?
