There are 641 boys and 490 girls in school. Each child makes 8 art pieces for class. Then all art pieces are distributed equally among 58 classrooms. How many art pieces are in each classroom?

Answer 1

Hi, Michael.

Okay, so if there are 641 boys and 490 girls, then there are 1,131 total children.

If each child makes 8 art pieces, then:

1131 x 8 = 9048

There are 9,048 total pieces.

If they are distributed among 58 classrooms:

 

9048 ÷ 58 = 156

 

There are 156 pieces in each classroom.
