Example Question #545 : How To Divide
Solve the following:
When we are dividing, we are splitting things up into groups. For this problem, we can think of this as we have items and we want to split them up equally into
groups. We are solving for the number of items in each group.
We can draw circles and start putting the
items, in this case triangles, into each circle equally.
Our answer is the number of items in group. In this case, there are
triangles in each of the groups so our answer is
.
Example Question #3811 : Numbers And Operations
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.
