Karen had 36 pieces of Halloween candy left over and wanted to give 9 pieces of candy to each of her friends. How many friends will get candy?
36 ÷ 9 = 4, so 4 friends will get candy.
Dominic, Wesley, Caleb, and Cassie are playing multi-player Minecraft. There are 12 wolves attacking them. If they each get rid of the same number of wolves, how many wolves will each person have to attack?
12 ÷ 4 = 3, so they will each have to attack 3 wolves.
Karen gave Cassie and Brandon money (you know, because he's nice like that!). She had $16 total to give them. If she gave them each the same amount of money, how much did each of them get?
(you don't have to show repeated subtraction, just solve the problem using any strategy you would like)
16 ÷ 2 = 8
so Cassie and Brandon each got $8
40 kids were playing outside at recess. If every kid wanted to play 4-square without having to wait in line, how many 4-square courts would there need to be so that all 40 kids could play at once?
40 ÷ 4 = 10
so there would have to be 10
4-square courts.
