Answer:
6 markers
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1) Find the number of red markers</u>
Firstly, we know that Ms. Peters has a total of 36 markers. There are 3 colours within these 36 markers. Because she has an equal number of each colour, divide 36 by 3 to find the number of red markers.
36÷3=12
Therefore, Ms. Peters has 12 red markers.
<u>2) Find the number of red markers in each group</u>
Ms. Peters then divides the red markers into 2 equal groups. Because we now know that there are 12 red markers, divide 12 by 2 to find this number.
12÷2=6
Therefore, there are 6 red markers in each group.
I hope this helps!
