 students are going on a field trip.  students can ride in each car. How many cars will they need for the field trip?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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 are  people left over. So they need  cars in order for every student to be in a car.

I have  oranges and  boxes. I am going to put the same number of oranges in each box. How many oranges will be in each box? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Looking at the picture below, we have a total of  oranges and  boxes. Each box has  oranges in it. 

Because we are splitting the oranges up into equal groups, this is a division problem. 

Let's let  equal the total number of oranges per box. 

Our equation is 

5x3
