Question

Explain It Adam made 19 paper cranes Monday and 8 more Tuesday. He gave 9 friends an equal number of cranes. How many cranes did each friend received? Explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

he made 19 paper cranes on Monday & 8 more on tuesday
total cranes made = 19 + 8 = 27
number of cranes he give to each of his 9 friends = 27/9 = 3 cranes

Answer 2

Answer: Each friend received 3 paper cranes.

Explanation:

Given : Number of paper cranes made by Adam on Monday = 19

Number of paper cranes made by Adam on Tuesday = 8

Total number of paper cranes made by Adam = (Number of paper cranes made on Monday) + (Number of paper cranes made on Tuesday )

= 19+8

= 27

Now , all paper cranes are equally divided into 9 friends , the number of paper cranes received by each friend = (Total number of paper cranes ) ÷ (9)

= (27)÷ (9)

= 3

Hence, each friend received 3 paper cranes.
