- There are 43 students that need to ride in a car for a field trip. If each car can hold 4 students, how many cars will be needed for all the students? Explain.
Answer Key/Rubric
- 859
- 189 R 2
- 32 pages each day.
256 ÷ 8 = 32
- 15 cookies each.
135 ÷ 9 = 15
Remember to count Sophia, so there are 9 children
- Julie can buy 12 full pounds of birdseed.
Explanations might include, but are not limited to:
- You have to divide the amount of money she has by the cost of the birdseed.
25 ÷ 2 = 12 R1
- This means that she has enough money to buy 12 full pounds of birdseed.
- The remainder means that she has money left over, but not enough for another full pound.
- They can set up 27 full rows of chairs and will have 3 chairs left over.
Explanations may include, but are not limited to:
- You have to divide the total amount of chairs that they have by the number of chairs that can fit in each row.
246 ÷ 9 = 27 R3- This means that you can make 27 full rows, each with 9 chairs in them.
- The remainder of 3 means that you will have 3 extra chairs that will not be part of the 27 rows that are set up.
- 11 cars are needed to fit all the students.
Explanations may include, but are not limited to:
- Divide the total students, 43, by 4, the number that will fit in each car.
43 ÷ 4 = 10 R3
- This means you will have 10 full cars with 3 students left over.
- Since you have 3 additional students, you will need one more car.
