Question

A teacher divides a whole class into groups to work on a class project. Each group has one-sixth of all the children in the class. How many groups are there?​

Answer 1

To find the number of groups, we need to know the fraction of children in each group and the total number of children in the class. Let's assume there are "x" total children in the class.

Each group has one-sixth (1/6) of all the children in the class. So, the number of children in each group is (1/6) * x.

To find the total number of groups, we need to divide the total number of children in the class (x) by the number of children in each group [(1/6) * x]:

Number of groups = Total number of children / Number of children in each group

Number of groups = x / ((1/6) * x)

Now, we can simplify the expression:

Number of groups = x / (1/6)

Number of groups = x * (6/1)

Number of groups = 6x

So, there are 6 groups in the class.

I hope this helped!
