Question

In the morning, Emily decided to create some designs with her cereal bits. In total, she created 9 designs and used 63 cereal bits. About how many cereal bits were in each design? Do you think she used an equal number of cereal bits in each design?

Answer 1

By dividing the total number of cereal bits (63) by the number of designs (9), we find that Emily likely used about 7 cereal bits per design. Since the division has no remainder, it is possible she used an equal number of bits for each design.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine about how many cereal bits were in each design that Emily created, we can divide the total number of cereal bits by the number of designs she made. She used 63 cereal bits to create 9 designs, so we perform the division 63 ÷ 9 to find the average number of cereal bits per design.

The result of this division is 7, which suggests that Emily used approximately 7 cereal bits for each design.

It's possible that she used an equal number of cereal bits in each design if we assume there are no leftover bits and each design contains an integer number of bits. Since 63 is divisible by 9 without any remainder, it is likely that she did use an equal number of cereal bits for each design.
