                  Division as Equal Distribution

                  Ritik has 12 gulab jamuns. He wants to share these gulab jamuns equally

                  among his 4 brothers. He starts by giving one gulab jamun to each of
                  his brothers. He repeats this step till no gulab jamuns is left.

                   Step 1:                             Step 2:

                   Step 3:

                  No gulab jamuns is left after the third step. Each brother of Ritik 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

                  will Neetu have to put in each vase?
                  Solution:

                                          21              ÷              7               =                 3

                                          ↑                              ↑                                ↑
                                    Number of flowers             Number of vases           Number of flowers in each vase
                                Thus, Neetu will have to put 3 f lowers in each vase.

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

                  Solution:   30 ÷ 6 = 5

                                 Thus, 5 packets of 6 balls each
                                 can be made with 30 balls.

                  86                                                                                    Mathematics-3
