Question

Taco Bell prepared 88 tacos for a meeting at Smith Elementry. If the tacos will be separaded equally among 4 trays, how many tacos will be on each tray?

Answer 1

The answer is:

22 tacos per tray

Explanation:

Number of trays:

• Pretend 1,2,3, and 4 are the trays
• If there's 4 trays

• and there's 88 tacos
• divide 88 by 4

Number of Tacos is 88:

• 88 ÷ 4 = 22

Put 22 Taco's in each tray:

Tray 1. 22 Tacos

Tray 2. 22 Tacos

Tray 3. 22 Tacos

Tray 4. 22 Tacos

• Dividing is Separating

• So your separating the tacos into 4 trays

Example of dividing:

• John takes 5 cookies from the cookie jar, there are 20 cookies total. He goes out to his friends and wants to share his cookies, but his mom said "no more cookies after you take 5 cookies." He had 3 friends with him that day. John keeps 1 cookie for himself and gives 1 cookie to each friend his friends. Now they are left with 1 cookie, they divide the cookie into 4 pieces, splitting it into half, they now have 2 halves, they split those 2 into 2 pieces. This example is showing how John and his friends shared by dividing the cookies among each other.

All 4 trays Add up to 88 tacos total

88 divided by 4 so therefore the answer would be 22. Just in case you needed an explanation
