Question

392 chocolates are equally distributed amongst seven students. How many chocolates did each one get?

• A. 56
• B. 64
• C. 42
• D. 48

Answer 1

The correct option is A 56

Total number of chocolates = 392
Number of students = 7
Number of chocolates per person
= 392 $÷$ 7

$$\begin{array}{c}56\\ 7392\\ -\underset{–}{35}2\\ 42\\ -\underset{–}{42}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 392 ÷ 7 = 56.
$\therefore$ Each student got 56 chocolates.
