Question

Six students collect buttons for a project. The students have 10, 14, 15, 12, 13, and 14 buttons. They divide the buttons evenly so that each student receives the same number of buttons. How many buttons does each student receive?

Answer 1

13 buttons

Explanation:

The first step is to add the buttons received by the 6 students.

= 10 + 14 + 15 + 12 + 13 + 14

= 78 buttons

Therefore the number of buttons received by each students can be calculated as follows

= 78/6

= 13 buttons

Hence each student will receive 13 buttons
