Students were divided into eight teams with nine on each team. Later, the same students were divided into teams with six on each team. How many teams were there then? Explain how.
8 * 9 = 72
72 / 6 = ?
12
Well, let me put on my math clown shoes for this one! So, initially we have 8 teams with 9 students on each team. That's a total of 8 x 9 = 72 students.
Now, the students are divided into teams with 6 on each team. To find out how many teams there are, we need to divide the total number of students (72) by the number of students per team (6).
72 divided by 6 equals... *starts juggling numbers*... 12! So, there were 12 teams formed with 6 students on each team.
It's like a magical clown trick where the number of students stays the same, but the team sizes change. Ta-da!
To find out how many teams there were when the students were divided into teams of six, we need to determine the total number of students and divide it by the number of students in each team.
Given that there were eight teams with nine students on each team initially, we can calculate the total number of students as follows: 8 teams × 9 students per team = 72 students.
Now, we can divide the total number of students (72) by the number of students per team (6) to find the number of teams: 72 students ÷ 6 students per team = 12 teams.
Therefore, there were 12 teams when the students were divided into teams of six.
To find the number of teams when the students were divided into teams with six on each team, we need to determine the total number of students and divide it by six.
First, let's calculate the total number of students. The problem states that there were eight teams, and each team had nine students. We can find the total number of students in the class by multiplying the number of teams by the number of students on each team:
Total number of students = Number of teams x Number of students per team
Total number of students = 8 teams x 9 students per team
Total number of students = 72 students
Now that we know there were 72 students in total, we can find the number of teams when each team has six students. To do this, we divide the total number of students (72) by the number of students per team (6):
Number of teams = Total number of students / Number of students per team
Number of teams = 72 students / 6 students per team
Number of teams = 12 teams
Therefore, there were 12 teams when the same students were divided into teams with six on each team.
