Answer:

The quotient would be 12.

Explanation:

The first way to interpret it would be: 60 as the total amount of students, divided by 5 students per group which = 12 groups with 5 students in each.

The second way to interpret it would be: 60 as the total amount of students, divided into 5 groups which = 12 students in each group.
