Question

Christy buys 48 barrettes. She shares the barrettes equally between herself and her 3 sisters. Write an expression to represent the nun of barrettes each girl gets

Answer 1

Answer:

each girl would get 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1x+1x+1x+1x=48

48÷4=12

1(12)+1(12)+1(12)+1(12)=48

Answer 2

Answer:

The required expression is $\frac{48}{4}$ or 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of batteries = 48,

Number of girls = 4 ( Christy and her 3 sisters ),

Thus, the number of batteries get by each girl = $\frac{\text{Total batteries}}{\text{Total girls}}$

$=\frac{48}{4}$

= 12
