Unit 4, Lesson 10: Additional Practice Problems
Problem 1: Sharing Muffins
Elena's Muffin Share
Elena is sharing 36 muffins equally with some friends. She uses division to determine how many people can have a share if each person gets a certain number of muffins. To find the number of people who can have a share, we need to divide the total number of muffins (36) by the number of muffins each person gets.
Mathematical Representation
Let's represent the number of muffins each person gets as 'x'. We can write the equation as:
36 ÷ x = number of people
Solution
To find the number of people who can have a share, we need to divide 36 by the number of muffins each person gets. Let's assume each person gets 1 muffin.
36 ÷ 1 = 36
So, if each person gets 1 muffin, 36 people can have a share.
What if Each Person Gets 2 Muffins?
If each person gets 2 muffins, we can divide 36 by 2 to find the number of people who can have a share.
36 ÷ 2 = 18
So, if each person gets 2 muffins, 18 people can have a share.
What if Each Person Gets 3 Muffins?
If each person gets 3 muffins, we can divide 36 by 3 to find the number of people who can have a share.
36 ÷ 3 = 12
So, if each person gets 3 muffins, 12 people can have a share.
Conclusion
In this problem, we used division to determine how many people can have a share of muffins. We found that if each person gets 1 muffin, 36 people can have a share. If each person gets 2 muffins, 18 people can have a share. If each person gets 3 muffins, 12 people can have a share.
Problem 2: Finding the Number of Groups
Elena's Muffin Groups
Elena wants to divide the 36 muffins into groups of 4 people. How many groups can she make?
Mathematical Representation
Let's represent the number of groups as 'x'. We can write the equation as:
36 ÷ 4 = x
Solution
To find the number of groups, we need to divide 36 by 4.
36 ÷ 4 = 9
So, Elena can make 9 groups of 4 people each.
What if Each Group Has 5 People?
If each group has 5 people, we can divide 36 by 5 to find the number of groups.
36 ÷ 5 = 7.2
Since we can't have a fraction of a group, we can round down to 7 groups.
Conclusion
In this problem, we used division to find the number of groups of people that Elena can make. We found that if each group has 4 people, Elena can make 9 groups. If each group has 5 people, Elena can make 7 groups.
