Here are the step-by-step solutions for each problem on the worksheet.
1. Ariana's Pencils
*
Step 1: Ariana has 32 pencils and wants to share them among 5 friends. We divide 32 by 5.
*
Step 2: $5 \times 6 = 30$. This is close to 32 without going over. So, each friend gets 6 pencils.
*
Step 3: To find the remainder, subtract the shared pencils from the total: $32 - 30 = 2$.
*
Result: Each friend gets 6 pencils, and there are 2 left over.
2. Gabriel's Pencil Boxes
*
Step 1: Gabriel has $\$1.50$. Since the boxes cost "20p" (20 cents), we should convert his money to cents to make it easier. $\$1.50$ is equal to 150 cents.
*
Step 2: Divide 150 by 20.
*
Step 3: $20 \times 7 = 140$. This fits into 150. So he can buy 7 boxes.
*
Step 4: Subtract the cost of the boxes from his total money: $150 - 140 = 10$ cents remaining.
*
Result: He can buy 7 pencil boxes and will have 10p ($\$0.10$) remaining.
3. Aunt Garcia's Balloons
*
Step 1: There are 100 balloons and 30 children. Divide 100 by 30.
*
Step 2: $30 \times 3 = 90$. This is the closest number to 100 without going over. So, each child gets 3 balloons.
*
Step 3: Subtract the used balloons from the total: $100 - 90 = 10$.
*
Result: Each child gets 3 balloons, and 10 remain with Aunt Garcia.
4. Louise's Cookies
*
Step 1: Louise has 39 packets and 5 friends. Divide 39 by 5.
*
Step 2: $5 \times 7 = 35$. So, each friend gets 7 packets.
*
Step 3: Subtract the shared packets from the total: $39 - 35 = 4$.
*
Result: Each friend gets 7 packets, and Louise has 4 remaining.
5. Grandpa's Toy Cars
*
Step 1: Grandpa has 30 cars and 4 grandchildren. Divide 30 by 4.
*
Step 2: $4 \times 7 = 28$. So, each grandchild gets 7 cars.
*
Step 3: Subtract the shared cars from the total: $30 - 28 = 2$.
*
Result: Each child gets 7 cars, and 2 are left over.
6. Books on the Shelf
*
Step 1: There are 62 books and 10 table groups. Divide 62 by 10.
*
Step 2: $10 \times 6 = 60$. So, each table gets 6 books.
*
Step 3: Subtract the shared books from the total: $62 - 60 = 2$.
*
Result: There will be 6 books on each table, and yes, there will be 2 left over.
