Question

There are $10$ red straws and $8$ blue straws. The straws are divided equally among $6$ students. How many straws does each student get?

Answer 1

Number of red straws $=10$
Number of blue straws $=8$
Total number of straws $=10+8=18$

Number of straws each student gets $=$ Total number of straws $÷$ Number of students
$=18÷6$
$=3$
Each student gets $3$ straws.
