Question

Garcia has 2 button collections. One has 321 buttons in it. The other has 704 buttons. She wants to divide them evenly among 5 of her friends. How many buttons will each friend receive?

Answer 1

Each friend will receive 205 buttons

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of buttons each of 5 Garcia's friend will receive

Firstly, we will need to find the total number of buttons available

That would be 321 + 704 = 1025 buttons

Now to find the distribution per friend, we simply divider the total by 5

That would be 1025 buttons ÷ 5 = 205 buttons

This means that each of the five friends will receive 205 buttons each

Answer 2

Answer: 205 buttons

Explanation:

Garcia has 2 button collections. One has 321 buttons in it. The other has 704 buttons. The total button collection will be:

= 321 + 704 = 1025

Since she wants to divide it equally among 5 friends, we divide 1025 by 5. This will be:

= 1025 ÷ 5

= 205

Each friend will get 205 buttons.
