Below are 4 whole chocolate bars. Each chocolate bar is made up of ten

Below are 4 whole chocolate bars. Each chocolate bar is made up of ten pieces. You can just see the ten pieces through the wrapping. We need to share the chocolate between five people (Adam, Bruce, Craig, Dave and Ed). Step 1: There are 5 people and only 4 bars so we can’t give out whole bars. First we must remove the wrappers. So we can share out the tenths. chocolate Each person received 8 tenths. Step 2: Share them out. We have 40 tenths and 5 people what is 40 ÷ 5 = ? 8, so each person must get 8 tenths 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Number of tenths Adam Bruce Craig Dave Ed

Now try these questions on your own. You may need some blocks to help

Now try these questions on your own. You may need some blocks to help you work these out. Record how many wholes there and how many tenths. 1) 6 ÷ 4 = ? 1 whole and 5 tenths 2) 6 ÷ 5 = ? 1 whole and 2 tenths 3) 8 ÷ 10 = ? 8 tenths 4) 7 ÷ 5 = ? 1 whole and 4 tenths 5) 7 ÷ 2 = ? 3 wholes and 5 tenths Click again when you have completed each question and the answer will be displayed.
