Explanation:
Let’s go one by one.
1. Alex ate 10 pieces, and that was 1/3 of his total chocolates.
That means if 10 is one part, then 3 parts (the whole) = 10 × 3 = 30.
So he had 30 chocolates.
2. Mr. Evans has 100 chocolates and 32 kids.
We divide 100 ÷ 32.
32 × 3 = 96 → so each kid gets 3 chocolates.
100 - 96 = 4 left over.
Answer: 3 each, 4 leftover.
3. Each bus holds 70 kids, and there are 8 buses.
Just multiply: 70 × 8 = 560.
So 560 kids can fit.
4. Peter had 21 cards and gave away 1/3.
1/3 of 21 = 21 ÷ 3 = 7.
He gave away 7, so he has 21 - 7 = 14 left.
All done! 😊
