Question

Nick gave 12 marbles to his friends he gave his 4 friends all the same number of marbles what number sentence shows how many marbles nick gave each friend

Answer 1

Nick gave 3 marbles to each of his 4 friends.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Number of Marbles = 12

Number of Friends = 4

Let the number of marbles to be divided in each friend be x

Solution:

To find the number of marbles to be divided in each friend we have to divide Total Number of Marbles by Number of Friends.

Hence number of marbles to be divided in each friend x =
`\frac{\textrm{Total Number of Marbles}}{\textrm{Number of friends}}= (12)/(4)=3`

Hence we can say that Nick gave 3 marbles to each of his 4 friends.
