Every child was given a orange cut into 8/8 pieces, Each child ate 5/8 pieces leaving 3/8 pieces each. How many kids were in their family. So each kid has 3/8 so you would add up 3/8 + 3/8 until you get a whole number of three. Or you can multiply the 3/8 by 8 or 8/1 (same thing) and get 24/8 slices which would simplify down to 3 full oranges, so there would be 8 kids because 8 x 3 = 24.

Abigail has 16 shoes use repeated subtraction to show how many pairs of shoes Abigail has
erik [133]

Hello!

Here is how we solve this question.

We know that 2 shoes = 1 pair

So we subtract 2 from 16 until we reach 0, and count how many times we subtracted.

16-2=14

14-2=12

12-2=10

10-2=8

8-2=6

6-2=4

4-2=2

2-2=0

After we do repeated subtraction we find that Abigail has 8 pairs of shoes!

Hope this helps you with your question.
