Question

A teacher divides the total number of items shown below equally among $6$ students. What is the total number of items that each student gets?

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Items}& \text{Number}\\ \text{Paintbrush}& 35\\ \text{Drawing sheets}& 70\\ \text{Paint plates}& 15\end{array}$

• A. $20$ items
• B. $19$ items
• C. $15$ items
• D. $25$ items

Answer 1

The correct option is A $20$ items

Number of paintbrushes $=35$
Number of drawing sheets $=70$
Number of paint plates $=15$
Total number of items $=35+70+15$
$=120$
Number of students $=6$
Let the number of items given to each student be $“s”.$
Number of items given to each student $=$ Total number of items $÷6$
$g=120÷6=20$

The total number of items that each student gets is $20$.

Hence, option C is correct.
