Question

Unlock the Problem Real World Stacy has 16 flowers. She puts an equal number of flowers in each of 4 vases. How many flowers does Stacy put in each vase? Use the graphic organizer below to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Stacy has 16 flowers in total

She has 4 vases

This implies that each of the vase will contain 4 flowers each

To determine the number of flowers in each verse

Number of flowers = Total number of flowers / Total number of vases

Total flower = 16

Total number of vases = 4

Number of flowers = 16 / 4

Since 4 is a multiple of 16

Therefore, 16 / 4 = 4

The answer is 4 flowers

Stacy will put 4 flowers each in each vase
