Mr Brokaw's class has 60 students, 1/4 of the students needed help for an upcoming test. if Mr Brokaw equally didvides the student that need help into 5 small groups, how many students are in each group

Answer 1

To find out how many students need help, we first calculate \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the total 60 students:

\[ \frac{1}{4} \times 60 = 15 \]

So, 15 students need help. If Mr. Brokaw divides these 15 students into 5 small groups, we can find the number of students in each group by dividing the total number of students needing help by the number of groups:

\[ \frac{15}{5} = 3 \]

Thus, there are 3 students in each group.
