Answer 1

First, we need to find out how many students needed help. Since 1/4 of the 60 students needed help, we can calculate that as follows:

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

So, 15 students needed help.

Next, if Mr. Brokaw divides these 15 students into 5 equal groups, we need to find out how many students are in each group:

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

Therefore, there are 3 students in each group.

So the final answer is:

3
