Answer:

2 kittens per crate

Explanation:

The kittens in a room at an animal shelter are arranged in five crates, as shown.

The manager of the shelter wants the kittens distributed equally among the crates. How might that be done? How many kittens will end up in each crate?

Crate 1 = 2 kittens

Crate 2 = 1 kitten

Crate 3 = 4 kittens

Crate 4 = 3 kittens

Crate 5 = 0 kitten

Total kittens = 2 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 0

= 10 kittens

To distribute them equally among the crates, divide the number of kittens by the number of crates

Kitten per crate = number of kittens / number of crates

= 10 kittens / 5 crates

= 2 kittens per crate

Kitten per crate = 2 kittens per crate
