Story math problem division

Question

 Henry has 146 marbles . His brother has 124 marbles. If they put their collection together and divide them equally . How much will each child get? 

Answer 1

To solve this problem we want to look at keywords. First, they "put their collection together" which means they add their marbles together. 146 +124 = 270.

Then they "divide them equally" so we are dividing. They are splitting the marbles between the two of them so we are dividing by 2. 270 divided by 2 is 135.

Each kid will get 135 marbles.

Answer 2

Henry has 146 marbles . His brother has 124 marbles. If they put their collection together and divide them equally . How much will each child get? 

Step 1: This is an addition step so add Henry's marbles and his brother's marbles to get the total.

Henry = 146 marbles

Brother = 124 marbles

TOTAL= 270 MARBLES

Step 2: This is a division step since the marbles need to be divided equally between Henry and his brother.

DIVIDE BY 2(EQUALLY) = 270/2 = 135 marbles for Henry and 135 marbles for his brother

Answer 3

1. Break down the word problem:

Henry = 146 marbles

Brother = 124 marbles

Together means adding

1. Add the number of marbles together, 146 + 124 = 270marbles
2. Altogether you have 270 marbles, then it said to divide equally among Henry and brother ( use the number 2)
3. 270 ÷2 = 135 marbles for Henry and 135 marbles for his brother

Answer 4

To look at this real world problem in a real-world lens I would "put together" (add) their collection and then "divide equally" (obviously divide). So...

146+124=270

270/2= 135

Each child will get 135 marbles.

Answer 5

(146+124)/2= 73+62= 135 each

or

146-x=124+x

2x= 146-124=22

x=22/2= 11

146-11= 135 =124+11= 135 each
