Question

5. Mrs. Correa bought a box of 72 pencils and kept 30 of them for herself. She gave the rest to her 6 children so that each had the same number of pencils. Which expression could be used to find the number of pencils each child received? *

Answer 1

(72-30) divided by 6

Explanation:

You subtract 30 from 72 because Ms.Correa is going to keep them. Then you divide that by 6 of her children to get your answer. 72-30=42, 42/6 = 7

Answer 2

(72-30)/6 = 7 is the equation

72-30=42

42/6=7
