Mr. Brokaw's class has 60 students, 1 over 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

Out of the 60 students, 60*(1/4) = <<60*(1/4)=15>>15 students needed help for the upcoming test.
If Mr. Brokaw equally divides the students that need help into 5 small groups, then each group has 15/5 = <<15/5=3>>3 students. Answer: \boxed{3}.
