Question

Mr. Parker owns The Glass Store. He received a shipment of 144 glass animals. He put an equal number of glass animals on each of 11 display shelves. How many glass animals were on each shelf?

A) 12 glass animals
B) 13 glass animals
C) 14 glass animals
D) 15 glass animals

Answer 1

To determine how many glass animals Mr. Parker put on each shelf, divide the total number (144) by the number of shelves (11), resulting in 13 glass animals per shelf.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking how to divide a set number of items (144 glass animals) equally across a specific number of groups (11 display shelves). To find the number of glass animals per shelf, we need to divide the total number of glass animals by the number of shelves. Dividing 144 by 11 gives us:

144 / 11 = 13

So, there are 13 glass animals on each of the 11 shelves.

The correct answer is: B) 13 glass animals
