Question

Harry had 3 packages of gum. Altogether there were

24 pieces of gum. If all packages have the same
number of sticks of gum, how many sticks of gum are
on each package?

Answer 1

Given,

Number of pieces = 24

Number of packages = 3

Each package has the same number of pieces.

So,

Number of pieces in 1 package

= Number of pieces / Number of packages

= 24 / 3

= 8
