Question

There are $22$ candies, which need to be equally distributed among $4$ children. How many candies did each child get $?$

• A. $3$
• B. $4$
• C. $5$
• D. $6$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $5$

Total number of candies $=22$
Number of children $=4$
$\therefore$ Number of candies each child would get $=22÷4$

Solving $22÷4$ by repeated subtraction:


Here, the quotient is $5$. So, each of the $4$ children will get $5$ candies.

And, as we get the remainder $2$, after equal distribution of candies among $4$ children, the remaining candies would be $2$.
