Each shirt needs 4 buttons. There are 8 buttons
in all. How many shirts can we make with the 8
buttons?
3
We measure out 4 buttons for 1 shirt and 4
buttons for another shirt. We can make 2 shirts
with the 8 buttons.
4
We have 6 buttons and each person wants to play
with 2 buttons. How many people get to play with
the yellow buttons?
5
We measure out 2 buttons for the first person, 2
buttons for the second person, and 2 buttons for
the third person. How many people get to play
with the yellow buttons? The answer is 3.
6
Now you try one. There are 9 buttons and it
takes 3 buttons to play a game. How many players
will there be in the game?
7
Youre right. There will be 3 players because 9
divided by 3 equals 3.
