a group of 3 students plants 141 seeds. each student plants the same number of seeds. how many seeds does each student plant?
write an expression you can use to solve this problem.
To find out how many seeds each student plants, we can divide the total number of seeds (141) by the number of students (3):
141 ÷ 3 = 47
Therefore, each student plants 47 seeds.
The expression we can use to solve this problem is:
total number of seeds ÷ number of students = number of seeds each student plants
or
141 ÷ 3 = 47
a group of 9 students raises $1,215 in a fundraiser. they divide the money equally so each student can donate to a charity of their choice.
how much money does each of the students donate?
To find out how much money each student donates, we can divide the total amount of money raised ($1,215) by the number of students (9):
$1,215 ÷ 9 = $135
Therefore, each student donates $135 to a charity of their choice.
The expression we can use to solve this problem is:
total amount of money raised ÷ number of students = amount of money each student donates
or
$1,215 ÷ 9 = $135
To find the number of seeds each student plants, we can divide the total number of seeds by the number of students. Let's represent the number of seeds each student plants by "x".
So, the expression to solve this problem would be:
x = Total number of seeds / Number of students
In this case, the total number of seeds is 141 and the number of students is 3, so the expression becomes:
x = 141 / 3
Now we can calculate the value of "x".
