Step 1
This type of question is much easier than students realise.
A question such as 12 item are shared equally between 4 friends would be done as:
12÷4=124=3
Each person gets 3 items.
In this case we have 4 being shared between 9 people:
4÷9=49
Each person gets 49 of a sandwich,
The question is the answer!! This is very useful if the answer is not a whole number: Write the division as a fraction and that is the answer!
In the same way:
2÷3=23
11÷5=115=212
7÷13=713
19÷5=195=445
