Is she correct? Explain. Explain how a division problem is like an unknown factor problem. Lilly found 40 seashells. She put 10 seashells in each bucket. How many buckets did Lilly use? Show your work.

Solution

Total monkey stickers Lena has = No. of yellow boxes x No. of stickers 1 yellow box represnts = 3 x 10 = 30

If she puts 5 stickers in a page, she will need = 30/5 = 6 pages

If she puts 10 stickers in a page, she will need = 30/10 = 3 pages

She says she will use more pages if she puts 5 stickers in a page instead of 10 stickers in a page, which is true as she needs 6 pages if she puts 5 stickers in a page whereas she needs only 3 pages, if she puts 10 stickers in a page.
