Question

1. There are 6 jars. Mick

put the same number of
fireflies in each jar. Write
an equation that shows
how many fireflies are in
each jar if there are 42
fireflies total.

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation: 42/6=7.

Mike had 6 jars, wanting to SEPARATE the coins into 6 jars.

7x6=42. Remember, Multiplication and division are inverse operations.

Example:

The Macy company had 20 shirts to sell. 2 people buyed them. After the purchases there were no more left. How many shirts did each person get?

1: This can be missing factor. 2 x ? = 20. We know it would be 10.

2. Use division. 20 divided by the 2 people equals 10.

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

42/6=7

This is because if he had 6 jars, he would need to divide the fireflies equally. So the answer would be 7, since that is the only number it can go into, equally.
