Hii, im Nat here to help.

Known: 7 people are sharing, 84 ounce,

So, since we are sharing, we have to divide.

So let's note whats know and whats unknown

Known:

Splitting evenly

7 people

84-ounce soda

Need to know:

How much each person will get

how many ounces each

So the first step would to divide 84, since there are 84 ounces, by 7, since there are 7 friends.

84÷7

Now, can 7 go into 84 without going over? Yes!

7x12=84

We would write 12, since 84 divided by 7 is 12.

And since 7x12 is exactly 84, we have no more steps

Hence,the answer would be 12.

Happy learning!
