Question

2. Andrés has 165 baseball cards. He wants to share them equally with his 4 friends.

How many cards will each of his friends get?

Answer 1

41

Explanation:

NOTE:

The answer can't be a decimal number, because you can't split up cards into quarters like chocolate or bars.

METHOD 1:

Use long division to solve; 4 fits 4 times into 16, and 5 fits 4 times into 1; thus you get 41.

METHOD 2:

You could use it as a fraction, in which you will get 165/4, which as you simplify, is 41 1/4. Since there is no decimal, 1/4 must be removed.

Answer 2

each friend will get 41 cards
