1 answer

To find out how many groups of 14 are in 34, we can divide 34 by 14:

34÷14=34×41=3

Thus, there are 3 groups of 14 in 34.

Visual Representation:

To visualize this, imagine a whole divided into four equal parts (quarters):

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|

Now, if we shade 34, we would shade three of these parts:

|---|---|---|---|
| X | X | X |   |
|---|---|---|---|

Each shaded part represents 14. Since we can see there are three shaded sections, we confirm that:

34=14+14+14

Thus, we have visualized that there are indeed 3 groups of 14 in 34.
