Question

There are 27 candies that equally need to be distributed among 9 children. How many candies does each child get?

• A. 3
• B. 2
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3

Here, we have to find out:
$27÷9=?$

Let's do repeated subtraction:

$27-9=18$
$18-9=9$
$9-9=0$

We did repeated subtraction 3 times.

Therefore, $27÷9=3$
