  1. Problem: A farmer has 60 apples. He wants to distribute them equally among his 4 children. How many apples will each child get?

Solution: We can use the division part-whole strategy to solve this problem. We divide the total number of apples (60) by the number of children (4).

60 ÷ 4 = 15

Each child will get 15 apples.

  1. Problem: A bakery sells 80 cupcakes in a day. Each cupcake costs $2. How much money will the bakery make in a day?

Solution: We can use the multiplication part-whole strategy to solve this problem. We multiply the number of cupcakes (80) by the price per cupcake ($2).

80 × $2 = $160

The bakery will make $160 in a day.

  1. Problem: A classroom has 25 students. The teacher wants to divide them into groups of 5 for a project. How many groups will there be?

Solution: We can use the division part-whole strategy to solve this problem. We divide the total number of students (25) by the number of students per group (5).

25 ÷ 5 = 5

There will be 5 groups.

  1. Problem: A store sells 90 pencils in a pack. Each pack costs $3. How much money will it cost to buy 5 packs of pencils?

Solution: We can use the multiplication part-whole strategy to solve this problem. We multiply the number of packs (5) by the price per pack ($3).

5 × $3 = $15

It will cost $15 to buy 5 packs of pencils.

  1. Problem: A garden has 80 flowers. The gardener wants to plant them in rows of 8. How many rows will there be?

Solution: We can use the division part-whole strategy to solve this problem. We divide the total number of flowers (80) by the number of flowers per row (8).

80 ÷ 8 = 10

There will be 10 rows.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.

Simpler Version:

Problem: A teacher has 24 pencils. She wants to distribute them equally among her 3 students. How many pencils will each student get?

Solution: We can use the division part-whole strategy to solve this problem. We divide the total number of pencils (24) by the number of students (3).

24 ÷ 3 = 8

Each student will get 8 pencils.

Same Version:

Problem: A store sells 60 notebooks in a pack. Each pack costs $5. How much money will it cost to buy 4 packs of notebooks?

Solution: We can use the multiplication part-whole strategy to solve this problem. We multiply the number of packs (4) by the price per pack ($5).

4 × $5 = $20

It will cost $20 to buy 4 packs of notebooks.

More Complex Version:

Problem: A factory produces 480 toys in a day. Each toy is packaged in boxes of 12. How many boxes will be needed to package all the toys?

Solution: We can use the division part-whole strategy to solve this problem. We divide the total number of toys (480) by the number of toys per box (12).

480 ÷ 12 = 40

40 boxes will be needed to package all the toys.
