Explain It Wendell has a box with 36 cherries He divides the cherries equally among 5 friends and himself. Bonnie received 6 cherries. She thinks she should have received one more. Is she correct? Explain
It is Six (6)
What is 36 divided by 6?
Wendell has a box of 36 cherries he divides the cherries equally among 5 friends and himself Bonnie received 6 cherries she thinks she should have received one more is she correct? Explain
To determine if Bonnie received the correct number of cherries, we can divide the total number of cherries by the number of friends and compare her portion to the result.
In this case, Wendell had 36 cherries and divided them equally among 5 friends and himself. To find the number of cherries each person received, we divide 36 by 6 (5 friends + 1 Wendell).
36 cherries รท 6 people = 6 cherries
So each person should have received 6 cherries. Since Bonnie received 6 cherries, she did indeed receive the correct amount. Therefore, Bonnie is incorrect in thinking she should have received one more cherry.
