Question

please Help Jenny bought 2 bags of carrots for her 6 rabbits. In the 2 bags of carrots, there are 52 carrots. How many carrots will each rabbit get if Jenny divides them equally for her 6 rabbits? Alfred wrote the expression: 52 ÷ 2. Is Alfred correct? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer: No

Explanation:

Alfred is not correct. 52/2 would account for the carrots only being divided with two rabbits instead of 6.

The correct expression would be 52/6=8.666666666666

This accounts for the 52 carrots being divided equally among the 6 rabbits.
