Question

During a field trip, 60 students are put into equal-sized groups. Describe two ways to interpret 60 ÷ 5 in this problem *

Answer 1

`x=12 groups`

This will give 5 Students each in 12 different equally sized groups

`x'=5groups`

This also shows that students can grouped in equal groups of 12 in 5 places

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

60 children in equal sized groups

Generally interpreting
`60/ 5` can be mathematically represented as

a)

`x=(60)/(5)`

`x=12 groups`

This will give 5 Students each in 12 different equally sized groups

b)

`x'=(60)/(12)`

`x'=5groups`

This also shows that students can grouped in equal groups of 12 in 5 places
