Question

84 strawberries are to be divided among 6 friends equally. How many strawberries will each of them get?

• A. 14
• B. 13
• C. 12
• D. 16

Answer 1

The correct option is A 14

Total number of strawberries = 84
Number of friends = 6
To get the number of strawberries for each of them, we need to divide 84 by 6.
Let's use repeated subtraction to find the answer.
From the multiplication table of 6, we know that 6 $\times$ 10 = 60.

$$\begin{array}{c}10+4\\ 684\\ -\underset{–}{60}2\\ 24\\ -\underset{–}{24}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 84 ÷ 6 = 10 + 4 = 14
So, each of them will get 14 strawberries.
