Question

Silvia has 9 toffees with her and decided to distribute those toffees among her 2 friends, which means that each friend will get equal toffees. Find the number of toffees each friend receives using the number line.

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C 4

Silvia distributes 9 toffees among her 2 friends.

We know distribution signifies division.

Here 9 is the dividend, and 2 is the divisor.

Let's take the help of Burgy to find the answer.
Initially, Burgy stands at position 9. He hops towards the left with 2 units of jump length.


He makes 4 complete hops.

$\therefore$ Silvia's two friends will get 4 toffees each with 1 toffee left with Silvia herself.
