At the market there are 96 eggs. Each carton holds 6 eggs.

How many cartons get filled? We do 96 divided by 6.

60 divided by 6 is 10, 36 divided by 6 is 6. That's 16 cartons.

144 candies are shared among 8 children. How many does each child get?

Answer and working

Correct! 80 divided by 8 is 10, 64 divided by 8 is 8. Each child gets 18.

144 ÷ 8 = 18
