When Ethan divides these base-ten blocks into 3 equal groups, the number of tens is one and the number of ones is 6.
Base-ten refers to numbers ranging from 0 to 9. This means that each base-ten block represents 1 unit.
The number of base-ten blocks in the group, dividend = 48 (4 x 10 and 8)
The divisor = 3
48 = 40 + 8
40 + 8 ÷ 3 = 10 + 6 = 16
Thus, we can conclude that when Ethan finishes the division operation, there are 1 ten and 6 ones in each group.
