Question

Jenny has 252 stickers. She wants to distribute these equally among 21 children. How many stickers does each child get?

• A. 8
• B. 13
• C. 17
• D. 12

Answer 1

The correct option is D 12

Total number of stickers = 252
Number of children = 21
Number of stickers for each child = 252 $÷$ 21

$$\begin{array}{c}12\\ 21252\\ -\underset{–}{21}2\\ 42\\ -\underset{–}{42}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 252 ÷ 21 = 12.

$\therefore$ Each child will get 12 stickers.
