    Equal Grouping

                Division means making equal groups.
                Anchal has 24 earrings. She wants to put them in packets
                of 8 earrings each.

                She starts by putting 8 earrings in one packet. She is left
                with 16 earrings.

                She puts  8 earrings in another packet.  She is left with 8
                earrings.
                She puts 8 earrings in the third packet.
                Now, she has no earrings.

                On arranging 24 earrings into groups of 8 earrings each,
                we get 3 packets.
                Thus,              24              ÷             8               =             3

                                    ↑                            ↑                             ↑
                              Number of              Number of earrings                  Number of
                            earrings in all              in each packet                    packets

                Example 2. There are 20  balls. How many  packets can  be  made  if  each  packet
                contains 4 balls.
                Solution.

                                                 20 ÷ 4 = 5
                Therefore, 5 packets of 4 balls each can be made with 20 balls.

                            Exercise 5A

                    1.  Share the following items equally among the groups by drawing lines to connect

                        a.   16 ice cream cones among 4 children

                                                                            16 ice creams shared equally by 4 is ____
                                                                          16 ÷ 4 = _____

                                                                          Each child gets _____ ice cream cones.
