Question

If there were six benches in the Novoca II market, and 36 people wanted to sit on them. How many people would be on each bench?

• A. 216
• B. 5
• C. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is C 6

Number of benches in the market = 6
Number of people in the market = 36

Number of people would sit on the bench $=\frac{\text{Number of people in the market}}{\text{Number of benches in the market}}=\frac{36}{6}$
Let's solve 36 $÷$ 6 using long division method

Hence, 6 people will sit on each bench.
