Question

During a field trip, 60 students are put into equal-sized groups. Describe two ways to interpret 60 ÷ 5 in this problem *

Answer 1

Answer:

    $x=12 groups$

This will give 5 Students each in 12 different equally sized groups

    $x'=5groups$

This also shows that students can grouped in equal groups of 12 in 5 places

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

60 children in equal sized groups

Generally interpreting $60\div 5$ can be mathematically represented as

a)

    $x=\frac{60}{5}$

    $x=12 groups$

This will give 5 Students each in 12 different equally sized groups

b)

    $x'=\frac{60}{12}$

    $x'=5groups$

This also shows that students can grouped in equal groups of 12 in 5 places
