Final answer:
By dividing 25 popsicles by 8 kids, each kid gets 3 popsicles and 1/8th of a popsicle, which is written as the mixed number 3 1/8.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many popsicles each of the 8 kids would get, we can divide 25 popsicles by 8 kids. This division gives us:
Divide 25 by 8 which gives us 3 with a remainder of 1.
Since we cannot divide the single popsicle further into 8 equal parts as a whole number, we express the remainder as part of 8, which is 1/8.
So, each kid would get 3 popsicles and 1/8th of a popsicle.
Thus, written as a mixed number, each kid would get 3 1/8 popsicles.
