Question

Susan has $150$ chocolates. She divides the chocolates equally into $5$ boxes. How many chocolates will be there in each box?

• A. $3$ chocolates
• B. $300$ chocolates
• C. $30$ chocolates
• D. $750$ chocolates

Answer 1

The correct option is C $30$ 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.

Hence, option A is correct.
