Grade six worded problems and answer that is in a story
Once upon a time, there were six friends who went on a camping trip. Each friend brought a different amount of snacks with them.
Friend A brought 12 apples, Friend B brought 8 granola bars, Friend C brought 6 bags of trail mix, Friend D brought 10 oranges, Friend E brought 4 packs of beef jerky, and Friend F brought 5 packs of gummy bears.
The friends decided to share their snacks equally among themselves. How many snacks did each friend end up with?
Answer:
First, we need to find the total number of snacks brought by all friends:
12 + 8 + 6 + 10 + 4 + 5 = 45
Since there are 6 friends, we need to divide the total number of snacks by 6 to find out how many each friend will get:
45 / 6 = 7.5
Since we can't have half a snack, each friend will get 7 snacks.
