Question

Eli is filling up gift bags each bag will have a 3 baseball cards which number sentence would Eli use to find how many bags he can feel if he has 21 cards?

21-3=18

21÷3=7

21+3=24

21x3=63​

Answer 1

If Eli has a total of 21 baseball cards, and wants each bag to have 3 cards, you would divide the number of total cards by the amount you want in each group. Dividing is like grouping.

So, the equation he'd use is: 21 / 3 = 7

I hope that helped.

Answer 2

21÷3=7

Explanation:

Dividing the number of available cards by the quantity in each bag will tell Eli how many bags he can fill.

___

Division can be thought of as "repeated subtraction" with the quotient telling you how many times the divisor can be subtracted from the dividend. One way Eli can do this repeated subtraction is to put the cards into piles of 3:

ccc . ccc . ccc . ccc . ccc . ccc . ccc

He will run out of cards when he has made 7 piles.
