Question
Grandfather collected 60 eggs. He sold 42 of these and gave equally what was left to her 3 grandchildren. How many eggs did each of his grandchild receive ?
Solution
Sure, here are the steps to solve the problem:
-
First, we need to find out how many eggs Grandfather had left after selling some. He originally collected 60 eggs and sold 42. So, we subtract 42 from 60: 60 - 42 = 18 eggs.
-
Grandfather then gave these remaining eggs equally to his 3 grandchildren. To find out how many each grandchild received, we divide the total number of remaining eggs by the number of grandchildren: 18 ÷ 3 = 6 eggs.
So, each grandchild received 6 eggs.
