Mrs. Groves class needs some practice answering math word problems. Since we have been working hard solving and creating word problems I told them we'd give them some practice. Please post your word problem and look back soon to see if it was solved correctly. You are amazing mathematicians!

Ep and Dw the answer to your question is each person gets 3 nerds and also another person can get 3 nerds, I got the answer by diving 60 and 21 and then 3 21 fits in 60 but there is 3 left so thats how I found the answer to your question. Thank you! For the questions my friends are enjoying it.

Here is a problem for you.
Linda brings in 24 cupcakes for her class.She wants to split them evenly with 8 people. How many does each person get?

Dear A.D. & A.H.
Well we think each student gets 15 cupcakes because 60+60=120 and we split 60 in half and 30 in half and we ended up with 15.

Dear Jon, Ceb,
Here's the answer:
There are 27 cupcakes left over for Mrs.Groves. We know this because we skip-counted forty-fours and then subtracted to find a difference of twenty-seven.

Dear E.N.J.S,

The answer is 8. I know this because I counted by tens on my fingers.

E.n J.s if Elsa has 50 pieces of candy and Jayson is absent than the answer is 08 because 50-42=08 because you cross out the 0 and make a 10 and cross out the 5 and make it a 4 than you redo the problem and you have 08 thats the answer. Jayda has 100 dollars and Bryanna wanted 20 than jayda earned 1000 more dollars how much would she have if she spent 80 dollars how much would she have now.

Dear E.N J.S the answer is 8 because 8 goes into 42 to get 50. Bryanna had 20 foot ball's. Zaire wanted 10. Daylon wanted 2, how many will Bryanna have left over.
