Answer 1

Answer: Each kid would receive 13 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation: Since Carlene has 104 pieces of candy and she wants to distribute them evenly to 8 kids she would have to do division and divide 104 with 8 which equals to 13 which means 13 pieces of candy are going to each kid.

Answer 2

Answer: Our required equation would be

`\frac{\text{Number of pieces of candy}}{\text{Number of kids}}`

and each kid would get 13 pieces of candy.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of candy left over from halloween = 104

Number of kids in which she would like to distribute = 8

As every student get pieces of candy evenly.

So, Number of pieces of candy each kid would get is given by

`\frac{\text{Number of pieces of candy}}{\text{Number of kids}}\\\\=(104)/(8)\\\\=13`

Hence, our required equation would be

`\frac{\text{Number of pieces of candy}}{\text{Number of kids}}`

and each kid would get 13 pieces of candy.
