Question

4000 fruits were distributed among 100 children equally. How many fruits did each child get?

Answer 1

Total number of fruits = 4000
Number of children = 1000
So, to get the number of fruits each child gets, we need to divide 4000 by 100.
Let's used repeated subtraction to get the answer.
We can use 100 $\times$ 10 = 100 for this.

$$\begin{array}{c}10+10+10+10\\ 1004000\\ -\underset{–}{1000}2\\ 3000\\ -\underset{–}{1000}2\\ 2000\\ -\underset{–}{1000}2\\ 1000\\ -\underset{–}{1000}2\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 4000 ÷ 100 = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40
So, each of them will get 40 fruits.
