Solution
The correct option is C30 chocolates Assume that the number of chocolates in each box is “p”. p= Total number of chocolates ÷ Number of boxes =150÷5
Let’s use the area model method for this division by splitting the number 150 as 50+50+50.
p=150÷5=30
Therefore, each box will have 30 chocolates.
