Question

an elementary school received a donation of 1,000.The school has 4 kindergarten classes and 3 classes each in grade 1 through 6. can the money be divided equally among the classes? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes, the money can be divided equally among the classes. Let me explain how.

The school has a total of 4 kindergarten classes and 3 classes each in grade 1 through 6. That means there are a total of 4 + 3 * 6 = 22 classes in the school. If the school received a donation of $1,000, then each class would receive 1000 / 22 = $45.45 if the money is divided equally among all the classes.

So, each class would receive $45.45 from the donation if it is divided equally among all the classes
