We can read the first expression, “zero divided by eight” and the second expression, “eight divided by zero.” Since multiplication is the inverse of division, we could rewrite these as multiplication problems. Since each crate, or box, has the same number of bananas, you can take the total number of bananas and divide by the number of crates.
