Answer: 8÷2 or 8/2 and also just in case, the answer is 4

Step-by-step explanation: Ok, 8 markers split equally between 2 students, this means that for each marker that student one takes, student two also takes one. they repeat this until there are no more markers left. This ends up with the two students each having four markers. Now, what is 8 divided by 2? Why yes, the answer is 4, just like the word problems answer. So the word problem "Two students share 8 markers equally" translates to 8÷2.

Hope this helps!
