Let's solve each problem step by step:
---
1. Share 40 buttons equally between 4 jars. How many buttons are there in each jar?
We need to divide 40 buttons equally among 4 jars.
$$
40 \div 4 = 10
$$
✔ So,

3. Share 18 strawberries equally between 2 plates. How many strawberries are there on each plate?
Divide 18 strawberries between 2 plates:

---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
10 buttons in each jar
2.
2 biscuits each
3.
9 on each plate
These problems teach
equal sharing, which is the foundation of division. Each time, we're dividing a total amount by the number of groups to find how much each group gets.
