Explanation:
Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.
Problem 1:
Jane has 24 apples. She wants to divide them equally into 4 baskets.
To find how many apples go in *each* basket, we divide the total apples by the number of baskets:
24 ÷ 4 = 6
So each basket gets 6 apples.
Problem 2:
There are 56 students. They need groups of 8 for a performance.
To find how many groups, divide total students by group size:
56 ÷ 8 = 7
So there will be 7 groups.
Problem 3:
A box has 45 colored pencils.
15 are red, 12 are blue, and the rest are green.
First, add red and blue pencils:
15 + 12 = 27
Now subtract from total to get green pencils:
45 − 27 = 18
So there are 18 green pencils.
Problem 4:
Liam had 38 marbles. He gave 9 to his friend.
To find how many he has left, subtract:
38 − 9 = 29
So Liam has 29 marbles left.
Let me double-check all calculations:
1. 24 ÷ 4 = 6
✔
2. 56 ÷ 8 = 7
✔
3. 15 + 12 = 27; 45 − 27 = 18
✔
4. 38 − 9 = 29
✔
All correct.
Final Answer:
1. 6
2. 7
3. 18
4. 29
