Question

there are 30 children in my class. i have 12 sets of mathematcs equipment. i want to arrange the tables in groups so that the equipment is shared equally among children. How many groups do I need? The groups should be equal

Answer 1

Let's divide the number of children (30) by the number of sets of math equipment (12). This will give us the number of children per group:

30 ÷ 12 = 2.5

Since we can't have a fraction of a group, we'll round up to the nearest whole number:

2.5 → 3

So, you need 3 groups. Each group will have 10 children (30 ÷ 3 = 10), and each group will share 4 sets of math equipment (12 ÷ 3 = 4).
