Allen has 13 carrots. He wants to put an equal amount of carrots into 5 sandwich bags, How much should Allen put in each bag?
put two in each bag, and eat the other three
To find out how many carrots Allen should put in each bag, we will divide the total number of carrots he has by the number of bags.
Step 1: Write down the given information.
Number of carrots Allen has = 13
Number of bags = 5
Step 2: Divide the total number of carrots by the number of bags.
13 ÷ 5 = 2.6
Step 3: Round the result to the nearest whole number since we cannot have a fraction of a carrot.
Rounded result = 3
Therefore, Allen should put 3 carrots in each bag.
To determine how many carrots Allen should put in each bag, we need to divide the total number of carrots by the number of bags.
In this case, Allen has 13 carrots and wants to divide them evenly into 5 bags. We can solve this by performing the division:
13 ÷ 5 = 2 remainder 3
Since we cannot have a fraction of a carrot, we need to distribute the remainder (3) among the bags. To do this, we can add one additional carrot to three of the bags. The remaining two bags would contain two carrots each.
Therefore, Allen should put 2 carrots in two of the bags, and 3 carrots in the other three bags, for a total of 13 carrots distributed equally.
