A college has two classroom of students.

Classroom A had 70 students.
Classroom B had 30 students.
Classroom A sent groups of 4 students to Classroom B until both classrooms had the same number of students.
The equation shown can be used to find the number of groups that Classroom A sent to Classroom B so each classroom had the same number of students.

How many groups did Classroom A send to Classroom B?

1 answer

To find the number of groups that Classroom A sent to Classroom B, we first need to calculate the difference in the number of students between the two classrooms:

Difference = 70 - 30 = 40

Then, we divide this difference by the number of students in each group:

Number of groups = 40 / 4 = 10

Therefore, Classroom A sent 10 groups of 4 students each to Classroom B so that both classrooms had the same number of students.
