Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Problem 1:
Avery needs 48 mini cupcakes. Each pack has 6 cupcakes.
To find how many packs she needs, divide total cupcakes by cupcakes per pack:
48 ÷ 6 = ?
Think: How many times does 6 go into 48?
6 × 8 = 48 → So, 48 ÷ 6 = 8
✔ She needs
8 packs.

Problem 2:
She has 80 paintbrushes and 4 tables.
She wants to put the same number on each table.
So, divide 80 by 4:
80 ÷ 4 = ?
Think: 4 × 20 = 80 → So, 80 ÷ 4 = 20
✔ She can put
20 paintbrushes on each table.

Problem 3:
She has 150 candies and puts 15 in each bag.
How many bags can she make?
Divide 150 by 15:
150 ÷ 15 = ?
Think: 15 × 10 = 150 → So, 150 ÷ 15 = 10
✔ She can make
10 bags.

Final Answer:
1. 8
2. 20
3. 10
