QuestionQUESTION 7 If there are 15 flowers in 3 pots, how many flowers are in I pot? A. 5 C. 15 B. 3 D. 4 A B C D

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? If we spread out some flowers evenly among some pots, how many flowers end up in one pot? Watch out! Don't mix up the number of flowers with the number of pots!

STEP 2

1. Set up the division
2. Calculate the result

STEP 3

We have a **total** of 1515 flowers and we're splitting them **equally** among 33 pots.
This screams division!
We want to find out how many flowers go in *each* pot.

STEP 4

We can write this as a fraction: 15 flowers3 pots\frac{15 \text{ flowers}}{3 \text{ pots}}.
This fraction represents the number of flowers *per* pot.

STEP 5

Now, let's actually *do* the division!
We want to calculate 153\frac{15}{3}.
Think of it this way: how many times does 33 go into 1515?

STEP 6

Well, 31=33 \cdot 1 = 3, 32=63 \cdot 2 = 6, 33=93 \cdot 3 = 9, 34=123 \cdot 4 = 12, and 35=153 \cdot \textbf{5} = 15!
So, 33 goes into 1515 exactly **five** times!

STEP 7

Therefore, 153=5\frac{15}{3} = \textbf{5}.
This means there are **five** flowers per pot.

STEP 8

There are 55 flowers in one pot, so the answer is A.
