X# Here are six bananas.
Here are three monkeys.
If they share the bananas equally, each monkey will get two bananas.
6 bananas divided into 3 equal parts = 2 bananas each
6 ÷ 3 = 2
If there are six bananas
and two monkeys,
each monkey will get three bananas.
Six bananas ÷ 2 = 3 bananas each
6 ÷ 2 = 3
If there are 60 bananas and two monkeys, how many will each monkey get?bananas.
Correct Answer
Five friends found 10 five-rupee coins on the ground.
They shared them equally. Each friend got ten rupees.
50 ÷ 5 = 10
If there are 16 ten-rupee notes and four friends to share, then
16 ÷ 4 = and 4 × 10 = 40
so each friend gets rupees.
Five friends found Rs 100. If they share it equally, how much will each get?
Hari Prashad has 30 metres of rope.

I have 20 books. I can keep 5 books in one shelf, so how many shelves do I need in my almirah?
Five books in the first shelf. 15 books are left.
5 more books in the second shelf.
10 books are left.
5 more books in the third shelf.
5 books are left.
5 more books in the fourth shelf.
20 books have filled up 4 shelves of the almirah.
20 books put into equal groups of 5 each take 4 shelves.
On this and the following page, division is done by making equal groups. For instance, here equal groups of 5 books each have been made. This process is different from sharing them equally (by distributing them into 4 shelves). |
Now let us try this.
Here are 28 buttons.
A tailor puts 4 buttons on one shirt.
So now there are 7 shirts with buttons.
