Division as Equal Distribution

Ritik has 12 gulab jamuns. He wants to share them equally with his
4 brothers. He starts by giving one gulab jamun to each of his brothers.

He repeats this step till no gulab jamuns are left.

Step 1: Step 2:

Step 3:

No gulab jamuns are left after the third step. Each of Ritik’s brothers has 3 gulab jamuns.

So, when 12 gulab jamuns are distributed among his 4 brothers, each brother gets

3 gulab jamuns.

It means Ritik divided 12 gulab jamuns into 4 groups of 3.

This can be represented as:

12 ÷ 4 = 3
↑ ↑ ↑
Number of gulab jamuns Number of brothers Number of gulab jamuns each brother gets

Division means equal sharing. It also means making equal groups.

Example 1: Neetu has 21 flowers. She wants to put them into 7 vases. How many flowers
can Neetu put in each vase?

Solution:

21 ÷ 7 = 3
↑ ↑ ↑
Number of flowers Number of vases Number of flowers in each vase

Thus, Neetu can put 3 f lowers in each vase.

Example 2: There are 30 balls. How many packets can be made if each packet has 6 balls?

Solution: 30 ÷ 6 = 5
Thus, 5 packets of 6 balls each
can be made with 30 balls.
