5*4=20+4=24

Answer 2

Answer:

Each child gets 6 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1 :

No. of children = 24

No. of sweets each get = 5

No. of sweets in box = children × sweets each get

=> No. of sweets in box = 24 × 5

=> No. of sweets in box = 120

Case 2 :

No. of children = 24 - 4 = 20

No. of sweets in box = 120

No. of sweets each get = total sweets / children

=> No. of sweets each get = 120 / 20

=> No. of sweets each get = 6
