Question

Pete has 4 packs of gumballs. Each pack has 5 gumballs. If Pete gives the same number of gumballs to 6 friends, how many gumballs will each friend get?

Answer 1

Answer: Each friend will get 3 gumballs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Pete has 4 packs of gumballs. Each pack has 5 gumballs.

Total gumballs he has = 4 x 5 = 20

Now , if he needs to divide them into 6 friends , then each friend will get (20 ÷ 6)  gumballs

$20\div 6=\dfrac{20}{6}=\dfrac{18+2}{6}=\dfrac{3\times6+2}{6}=3\dfrac26$

So each friend will get 3 gumballs.
