Ben has 4 people in his family. They have 6 cupcakes left to eat. How many cupcakes will each person get to eat?

6 divided by 4 = 1 1/12 cupcakes.

I think Ms. Sue made a typo. It is 1 1/2 cupcakes.

To find out how many cupcakes each person will get to eat, you need to divide the total number of cupcakes by the number of people in Ben's family.

In this case, Ben has 4 people in his family and there are 6 cupcakes left to eat. To find out how many cupcakes each person will get, you divide 6 cupcakes by 4 people:

6 cupcakes ÷ 4 people = 1.5 cupcakes

Since you cannot have half a cupcake, each person in Ben's family will get 1 cupcake to eat.
