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?
1/4 of the students in Mr. Brokaw's class is 60 x 1/4 = <<60*1/4=15>>15 students.
So, 15 students are divided into 5 small groups, therefore, there are 15/5 = <<15/5=3>>3 students in each group. Answer: \boxed{3}.
To find how many students are in each group, we need to divide the total number of students by the number of groups.
First, let's find out how many students needed help for the upcoming test.
The total number of students is 60, and 1/4 of them needed help.
So, we calculate: (1/4) * 60 = 15.
Now, we divide the number of students needing help (15) by the number of groups (5) to find out how many students are in each group:
15 ÷ 5 = 3.
Therefore, there are 3 students in each group.
To find out the number of students in each group, we need to determine the number of students who needed help for the test and then divide it by the number of small groups.
Given that Mr. Brokaw’s class has 60 students and 1/4 of them needed help, we can calculate the number of students who needed help as follows:
Number of students who needed help = (1/4) * 60
= 15
Now that we know there are 15 students who needed help, we can divide them equally into 5 small groups:
Number of students in each group = Number of students who needed help / Number of small groups
= 15 / 5
= 3
Therefore, there are 3 students in each small group.
