Answer 2

Correct Question

6 friends share 9 licorice sticks equally, how many will each get?

Answer

Each friend will get 1.5 licorice sticks.

Given

• There are 6 friends
• They share 9 licorice sticks equally

To Find

Share of each friend

Solution

No. of friends to share licorice sticks with = 6

No.of licorice sticks to be shared = 9

Since we have to divide 9 licorice sticks among 6 kids,

we will divide 9 by 6.

This means 9 is the dividend and 6 is the divisor.

Hence, we will perform division like this-

$6 \overline{)9}$

6X1 = 6, 6<9, hence it can be the quotient

6 X 2 = 12. Since 12>9, it cannot become the quotient.

Taking up 1 in quotient we get

$1 \\6 \overline{)9}\\ -6\\=3$

Now we will put a decimal beside 1 and put a 0 next to 3

$1 .\\6 \overline{)9}\\ -6\\=30$

Now we have

6 X 5 = 30.

Since this is exactly equal to the remainder we get,

$1 .5\\ \overline{6)9}\\ -6\\=30\\-30\\=0$

Therefore, each friend will get 1.5 licorice sticks.
