5. The picture below showsthe number of jewels in 3treasure chests.34 jewels48 jewels18 jewelsFive explorers plan to sharethem equally. How manyjewels does each get?]

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

3 treasure chests contain: 34 jewels, 48 jewels & 18 jewels

Total jewels = 34 + 48 + 18 = 100 jewels

Five explorers plan to share them equally:

To know how many jewels does each get, we divide the total number of jewels by the number of explorers

`\frac{Tot\text{al jewels}}{N\text{umber of explorers}}=(100)/(5)=\text{ 20 jewels}`

Total jewels / number of explorers = 100/5 = 20 jewels

Therefore each explorer gets 20 jewels
