at the museum, your class breaks into groups of 3 for a scavenger hunt. There are 27 students in your class. how many groups form? explain your thinking
To find out how many groups form, we need to divide the total number of students by the number of students in each group. Since each group consists of 3 students, we will divide the total number of students (27) by 3.
27 ÷ 3 = 9
Hence, there will be 9 groups formed for the scavenger hunt.
To find out how many groups form, we need to divide the total number of students in the class by the number of students in each group.
Given that there are 27 students in the class and each group consists of 3 students, we can divide 27 by 3:
27 ÷ 3 = 9
Therefore, 9 groups will form.
Each group will consist of 3 students, and when we multiply the number of groups (9) by the group size (3), the total number of students is accounted for:
9 groups × 3 students/group = 27 students
This demonstrates that all 27 students in the class will be able to form groups of 3 for the scavenger hunt at the museum.
To determine the number of groups that form during the scavenger hunt, we need to divide the total number of students in the class by the number of students per group.
Given that there are 27 students in the class, and we need to form groups of 3, we can divide 27 by 3 to find the number of groups.
Dividing 27 by 3 gives us:
27 ÷ 3 = 9
Therefore, 9 groups will form during the scavenger hunt.
The reasoning behind this is that for each group to have 3 students, we divide the total number of students (27) by the number of students per group (3). The result of this division gives us the total number of groups that can be formed.
