We have been solving problems on division from class one. I am sure you are aware of using division method but have you tried using it in a word problem, lets work on it. Here we have some word problems using division method. This will be useful for 5th and 6th grade children.
Word Problem no.1:-
a) In a school 180 students are selected for the annual day function. The students are equally divided in 6 groups for the school annual day function. Find how many students are put together in a group.
Solution:
Total number of students in the school, selected for the annual day function= 180
Lets Divide them into 6 groups
Therefore 180/6= 30 students.
Answer:- Each group has 30 students in it.
b) Joseph made 448 chocolates. He packed 5 chocolates into each box. Find how many boxes of chocolates were packed and how many chocolates were left unpacked?
Solution:
