How did you get 15?
I think I need to divide 30 on 4
and the answer it will be 7.5 years for each gilre
Yes.
To find out how many yards of dirt each girl needs to spread in Mrs. Adrian's garden, you can divide the total amount of dirt by the number of girls.
Given that Mrs. Adrian bought 30 yards of dirt and hired 4 girls, you can divide 30 by 4 to find the answer.
30 yards ÷ 4 girls = 7.5 yards
Therefore, each girl needs to spread 7.5 yards of dirt in Mrs. Adrian's garden.
Model Drawing:
You can represent this situation with a division bar. Write the total amount of dirt, 30 yards, on the top of the division bar. Then, write the number of girls, 4, on the bottom of the division bar. Finally, divide 30 by 4 and write the answer, 7.5 yards, above a dotted line.
