Mr. Brokaw's class has 60 students, 1/4
of the students needed help for an upcoming test. If Mr. Brokaw equally divides the students that need help into 5 small groups, how many students are in each group?
60/4=<<60/4=15>>15 students needed help for the test
15/5=<<15/5=3>>3 students are in each small group. Answer: \boxed{3}.
To find the number of students in each small group, we need to divide the total number of students who need help by the number of small groups.
1/4 of the students in Mr. Brokaw's class need help for the upcoming test. So, the number of students who need help is 1/4 * 60 = 15.
Mr. Brokaw wants to divide these 15 students into 5 small groups equally.
To find the number of students in each small group, we divide the total number of students who need help by the number of small groups:
15 students รท 5 groups = 3 students per group.
Therefore, there are 3 students in each small group.
To find the number of students in each small group, we need to determine how many students needed help for the upcoming test.
Given that 1/4 of the students needed help, we can find this number by multiplying the total number of students by 1/4.
Number of students needing help = (1/4) * 60
= 60/4
= 15
Now, we can divide the 15 students who needed help into 5 small groups to find out how many students are in each group.
Number of students in each group = 15/5
= 3
Therefore, there are 3 students in each small group.
