Answer 1

Oliver had 56 marbles and he divided them equally in 8 groups. The number of marbles in each group = 56 marbles ÷ 8 groups = 7 marbles per group.

In order to determine the number of marbles in each group you just have to divide the total number of units by the number of groups. In this case, the result is a whole number.
