Answer:
2 kittens per crate
Step-by-step explanation:
The kittens in a room at an animal shelter are arranged in five crates, as shown.
The manager of the shelter wants the kittens distributed equally among the crates. How might that be done? How many kittens will end up in each crate?
Crate 1 = 2 kittens
Crate 2 = 1 kitten
Crate 3 = 4 kittens
Crate 4 = 3 kittens
Crate 5 = 0 kitten
Total kittens = 2 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 0
= 10 kittens
To distribute them equally among the crates, divide the number of kittens by the number of crates
Kitten per crate = number of kittens / number of crates
= 10 kittens / 5 crates
= 2 kittens per crate
Kitten per crate = 2 kittens per crate
