Question

Arturo is

putting 18 erasers into equal rows. He
says there will be more erasers in 2 equal
rows than in 3 equal rows Is Arturo
correct?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

When there are 2 rows

• Number of erasers per row = No. of erasers / No. of rows
• Number of erasers per row = 18/2
• Number of erasers per row = 9

When there are 3 rows

• Number of erasers per row = No. of erasers / No. of rows
• Number of erasers per row = 18/3
• Number of erasers per row = 6

Therefore, there will be more erasers per row in 2 equal rows than in 3 equal rows.
