Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.

Problem 1:
Shanon has 12 gummi bears.
She shares them equally among 3 friends.
We need to find how many each friend gets.
This is a division problem: total items ÷ number of groups = items per group.
So:
12 ÷ 3 = 4
Check: If each of the 3 friends gets 4, then 3 × 4 = 12 — that matches the total. Correct!
Answer choice A says: 12 ÷ 3 = 4 → This is correct.

Problem 2:
Ms. Daisy baked 16 cupcakes.
She shared them equally among 4 children.
How many does each child get?
Again, divide total by number of children:
16 ÷ 4 = 4
Check: 4 children × 4 cupcakes = 16 — perfect.
Answer choice B says: 16 ÷ 4 = 4 → This is correct.

Problem 3:
Mr. David wants to share toy planes with 3 students.
Looking at the image (we can count), there are 3 toy planes shown.
He is sharing 3 planes among 3 students.
So: 3 ÷ 3 = 1
Each student gets 1 plane.
Answer choice B says: Each student will receive 1 toy plane. → Correct.

Problem 4:
Josh has 6 toy cars.
He shares them with 3 friends.
How many does each friend get?
Divide: 6 ÷ 3 = 2
Check: 3 friends × 2 cars = 6 — yes.
The question doesn’t list answer choices for this one in your image, but based on the math, each friend gets 2 toy cars.
Wait — looking back at your image, Problem 4 only shows the question and no multiple-choice options below it like the others. But since you asked to solve the problems, we’ll give the answer anyway.
Each friend gets 2 toy cars.
