Cal had 6 comic books. After he gave 1 comic book to each of his cousins, he had none left. How many cousins does Cal have?
What do you think?
6/1=6
Right.
To solve this problem, let's assume Cal has x cousins.
Since Cal gave 1 comic book to each of his cousins, he gave away a total of x comic books. Therefore, the number of comic books Cal has left can be expressed as: 6 - x.
According to the problem, Cal had none (0) left after giving away his comic books. So we can write an equation based on this information:
6 - x = 0
To find the value of x, let's solve this equation:
6 - x = 0
x = 6
Therefore, Cal has 6 cousins.
