Problem 1:
> Alex ate 10 pieces of chocolate. These 10 pieces made up 1/3 of the chocolates he had. How many chocolates did he have?

Explanation:
If 10 pieces are one-third (1/3) of the total, then the total number of chocolates is three times that amount.

So, we multiply:
> 10 × 3 = 30

✔ Answer: 30 chocolates

Problem 2:
> Mr. Evans has 32 children in his classroom. He had 100 chocolates. How many could he give to each child, and how many would he have leftover?

Explanation:
We need to divide 100 chocolates among 32 children as evenly as possible.

Do the division:
> 100 ÷ 32 = 3 with a remainder

Let’s check:
> 32 × 3 = 96
> 100 – 96 = 4 left over

So, each child gets 3 chocolates, and there are 4 left over.

✔ Answer: Each child gets 3 chocolates, and there are 4 leftover.

Problem 3:
> There were 8 school buses and each bus could hold 70 children. How many children could they fit onto all 8 buses?

Explanation:
Multiply the number of buses by the capacity of each bus.

> 8 × 70 = 560

✔ Answer: 560 children

Problem 4:
> Peter loved to collect baseball cards. He had 21 cards and gave 1/3 of them away to his best friend. How many cards did he have left?

Explanation:
First, find out how many cards he gave away — that’s 1/3 of 21.

> 21 ÷ 3 = 7 cards given away

Now subtract that from the original amount:

> 21 – 7 = 14 cards left

✔ Answer: 14 cards

✔ Final Answers:

1. 30 chocolates
2. Each child gets 3 chocolates; 4 leftover
3. 560 children
