Question

You are a math tutor at your school.

On the last day of school, you bring in a bag of 48 pieces of candy for your students.
You want to share the candy equally with your 6 students.

How many pieces of candy will each student get?

Answer 1

So, you have 48 pieces and you’re trying to split it into 6 equal groups.
For this, you have to divide. Since you’re splitting it, you would divide 48 by 6.
48/6
8
So, each student would receive 8 pieces of candy from their tutor.

Answer 2

Hello!

To solve this you have to find the amount of candy every student gets

To find this you can divide the amount of candy by the amount of students

48/6 = 8

The answer is 8

Hope this helps!
