Find the value of each expression mentally.

Here are four calculations to find the value of $7, 465 \div 5$ , but each one is unfinished.

Complete at least two of the unfinished calculations. Be prepared to explain how you know what to do to complete the work.

$\begin{aligned} 5, 000 \div 5 & = 1, 000 \\ 60 \div 5 & = 12 \\ 5 \div 5 & = 1 \end{aligned}$

7,465 is a little less than 7,500.

$\begin{aligned} 7, 500 \div 5 & = 1, 500 \\ 35 \div 5 & = 7 \end{aligned}$
