Question

An art teacher has 40 paint brushes.she divides them equally among her 4students. She finds8 more brushes and divides these equally among the students, as well. How many brushes does each student receive

Answer 1

In the beginning, the teacher evenly distributes the 40 paint brushes to her 4 students. Each student now has 40/4=10 paint brushes.

Later, the teacher finds 8 more brushes and divides them equally to her 4 students again.
The students gain 8/4=2 brushes.

In total, each student receives 10+2=12 brushes.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:  The required number of brushes that each student receive is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that an  art teacher has 40 paint brushes.she divides them equally among her 4 students.

She finds 8 more brushes and divides these equally among the students, as well.

We are to find the number of brushes that each student receive.

The total number of brushes that divides among the 4 students is

$n=40+8=48.$

Since there were 4 students, so the number of brushes that each student receive is

$n_b=\dfrac{n}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow n_b=\dfrac{48}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow n_b=12.$

Thus, the required number of brushes that each student receive is 12.
