Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to come up with a real-world scenario where we divide something into 5 equal parts, then do the math! Watch out! Make sure your problem actually involves splitting something *equally* into 5 groups.
Don't accidentally add or subtract!

STEP 2

1. Create a real-world problem.
2. Solve the problem.

STEP 3

Alright, let's imagine a delicious scenario.
I have a giant chocolate bar, and it has exactly **125** individual pieces.
I want to share this chocolate bar *equally* with **5** of my awesome friends.
How many pieces of chocolate does each friend get?

STEP 4

We have a total of 125125 pieces of chocolate, and we're dividing them among 55 friends.
So, we need to calculate 125÷5125 \div 5.

STEP 5

Let's break down the division.
How many times does 55 go into 11?
Zero times!
But 55 goes into 1212 two times (52=105 \cdot 2 = 10).
We subtract 1010 from 1212 which leaves us with 22.

STEP 6

We bring down the 55 to make 2525.
Now, how many times does 55 go into 2525?
Exactly 55 times! (55=255 \cdot 5 = 25).
Subtracting 2525 from 2525 leaves us with 00.

STEP 7

255)1251025250\begin{array}{r} 25 \\ 5 \overline{) 125} \\ -10 \\ 25 \\ -25 \\ 0 \end{array}

STEP 8

So, 125÷5=25125 \div 5 = 25.

STEP 9

Each friend gets **25** delicious pieces of chocolate!
