Question

Mary had 1240 picture cards. She kept 80 cards for herself and gave the rest to a group of children. Each child received 8 cards. How many children were there in the group?​

Answer 1

Answer:145 children.

Explanation:

1240-80=1160

1160/8=145

So there are 145 children in the group.

Answer 2

145 children

Explanation:

Mary kept 80 cards for herself, so the number of cards she gave to the group of children is:

1240 - 80 = 1160 cards.

Each child received 8 cards, so to find the number of children in the group, we can divide the total number of cards given to the children (1160) by the number of cards each child received (8):

`\sf (1160)/(8) = 145`

So, there were 145 children in the group who received the picture cards.
