Question

me. Evans needs to assign 32 students into 8 equal groups. he says "I can use repeated subtraction. since I subtract 3 times, each group has 3 students" do u agree w/ mr Evans. why or why not?

Answer 1

Hi there.

So, Mr. Evans wants to divide 32 students into 8 equal groups. While he wants to use repeated subtraction of 3, the correct answer is to use division of 8.

Let's put that into math.

32/8 = 4

I don't agree with Mr. Evans because 32 students divided equally into groups of 8 means 4 students per group.


Let me know if this was easy to understand :)
