Here are the step-by-step solutions for each problem on the worksheet.
Problem 1: Peter's Marbles
First, we need to find out how many marbles Peter has in total. He started with 12 and got 20 more.
*
Total marbles with Peter: $12 + 20 = 32$
Next, he wants to split these 32 marbles equally into 4 boxes. We use division for this.
*
Marbles in each box: $32 \div 4 = 8$
***
Problem 2: Cindy's Candies
First, we figure out how many candies are left to give away. Cindy had 64 but kept 10 for herself.
*
Candies distributed among friends: $64 - 10 = 54$
Now, she shares those 54 candies equally among her 9 friends.
*
Candies each friend will get: $54 \div 9 = 6$
***
Problem 3: Andrew's Cupcakes
First, we calculate the total number of cupcakes Andrew has. He has 4 packs, and each pack holds 6 cupcakes.
*
Cupcakes with Andrew: $4 \times 6 = 24$
He wants to arrange all 24 cupcakes into 8 equal rows.
*
Cupcakes in each row: $24 \div 8 = 3$
