Question

Jason divides 8 pounds of dog food equally among 6 dogs. Draw a diagram and explain how you can use it to find the amount of food each dog receives.

Answer 1

Divide 8 by 6 and you will get 1 and 1/3 pounds per dog. You can draw 6 dogs, then equally assign the pounds of dog food to each dog. I would not recommend this technique, however.
