Question

Ron distributes 56 bananas equally among 4 monkeys. How many bananas does each monkey get?

• A. 14
• B. 16
• C. 13
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is A 14

Total number of bananas = 56
Number of monkeys = 4
Number of bananas for each monkey = 56 $÷$ 4

$$\begin{array}{c}14\\ 456\\ -\underset{–}{4}2\\ 16\\ -\underset{–}{16}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 56 ÷ 4 = 14.

$\therefore$ Each monkey will get 14 bananas.
