Question

48 apples and 64 oranges are to be distributed equally among 16 children. How many fruits will each child get?
[3 marks]

Answer 1

Solution:

Number of children = 16

Number of apples available = 48
Number of apples that each child gets = 48 $÷$ 16 = 3
[1 mark]

Number of oranges available = 64
Number of oranges that each child gets = 64 $÷$ 16 = 4
[1 mark]


Number of fruits that each child gets = 3 + 4 = 7
