Example Question #491 : How To Divide
Melissa is making holiday cookies. She made cookies and she's going to put them into small containers to give out to her friends. Each container holds cookies. How many containers can she fill completely?
When we have a set of something that we are splitting up into groups, we divide. In this case, we are splitting up cookies into containers. We have cookies that we are dividing into containers. Each container holds cookies, so we divide by to find out how many containers we can fill. We will let represent the number of containers that we can fill.
We drop the remainder of because the question asks how many containers we can fill completely.

Example Question #3531 : Operations
students are going on a field trip. students can ride in each car. How many cars will they need for the field trip?
When we have a set of something that we are splitting up into groups, we divide. In this case, we are dividing students up into cars. We will let represent the number of cars they will need.
Our answer is with a remainder of . This means that they will have full cars of people, but there is person left over. So they need cars in order for every student to be in a car.
