Question

A total of 336 people in a village are to be divided equally into 12 groups for a vaccination drive. Find how many people are there in each group approximately.

• A. 21
• B. 34
• C. 42
• D. 48

Answer 1

The correct option is B 34

Total number of people = 336
Number of groups = 12
Number of people in each group = Total people ÷ Number of groups

Approximate value can be obtained by dividing the rounded off dividend and the divisor directly.


Using the property of division by 10 to divide 340 by 10, we have:
Quotient = 34
Remainder = 0

$\therefore$ There are approximately 34 people in each group.
