Question

A farmer is dividing 128 eggs into 5 crates , how many eggs will go into each crate?

Answer 1

This is a division problem. You can use the standard algorithm of 128/ 5. Or you can create equal groups (draw five circles) and count out eggs until you distribute them all. I would start with 20 in each circle. That would be 20+ 20+ 20+ 20+ 20= 100 Then think 128-100= 28 Next count by 5's. 5+ 5+ 5+ 5+ 5= 25 Then think what is 28-25= 3 so 128/ 5= 25 with a reminder of 3 eggs left over.
