Question

in how many ways can alice distribute 12 apples to 3 children? each child has to have AT LEAST 1 apple.

Answer 1

I think it would be 4 apples for each of them !

Explanation:

its division. you had to do 12 ÷ 3

Answer 2

The answer is 4 apples per child.

Explanation:

If we have 12 apples and 3 children we write as a ratio like this:

12:3

So we have to figure out how many apples each child gets to have.

Next, we cancel out 3 from 12 and 3 which becomes:

4:1

So each child gets 4 apples.

I hope this helps!
