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

1 answer

1/4 of the students in Mr. Brokaw's class is 60 x 1/4 = <<60*1/4=15>>15 students.
So, 15 students are divided into 5 small groups, therefore, there are 15/5 = <<15/5=3>>3 students in each group. Answer: \boxed{3}.
