Mr. Brokaw class has 60 students, 1/4 of the students needed help for an upcoming test. If Mr. Brokaw equally divides the students that need help into 5 small groups, How many students are in each group
There are 60 * 1/4 = <<60*1/4=15>>15 students who needed help for the test.
Each small group has 15 / 5 = <<15/5=3>>3 students. Answer: \boxed{3}.
To find out how many students are in each group, we first need to determine how many students needed help for the test.
Given that there are 60 students in Mr. Brokaw's class and 1/4 of the students needed help, we can calculate the number of students who needed help by multiplying the total number of students by 1/4:
60 students * 1/4 = 60/4 = 15 students
Now, we know that there are 15 students who needed help for the test. To determine the number of students in each group, we divide the total number of students needing help by the number of groups:
15 students / 5 groups = 3 students
Therefore, there are 3 students in each of the small groups.
To find out how many students are in each group, we need to determine how many students need help for the upcoming test first.
Given that 1/4 of the students needed help, we can calculate this by multiplying the total number of students (60) by 1/4:
60 * 1/4 = 60/4 = 15
So, 15 students need help for the upcoming test.
Now, we can divide these 15 students equally into 5 small groups to find out how many students are in each group:
15 / 5 = 3
Therefore, there are 3 students in each group.
