Question

Maggie is making muffins with a recipe that yields 18 muffins.If Maggie wanted to divide the muffins evenly between the 36 students in her class, how much muffin would each person get? Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

Each student would get half a muffin because 18 times two is 36.  If you wanted to split it evenly than you have to give each student a half of muffin.

Hope this helps!
