At the museum, your class breaks into groups of 3 for a scavenger hunt. There are 27 students in your class, how many groups form? Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

To determine the number of groups that form for the scavenger hunt, we need to divide the total number of students in the class by the number of students in each group. In this case, each group consists of 3 students.

Therefore, to find the number of groups, we divide the total number of students (27) by the number of students per group (3):

27 students ÷ 3 students/group = 9 groups

So, there will be 9 groups formed for the scavenger hunt.
