Sam and Leo had 450 stickers in their collection. Sam wanted to share with three people but
Leo wanted to share it among five people. If Sam shared with three people, how many would
Each person should get 150 each, 450 ÷ 3 = 150.

each person get? How many would each person get if Leo shared with five people?
Each person should get 90, 450 ÷ 5 = 90

2. Create a word problem for each of these equations.
15 ÷ 3 = 5             16 ÷ 4 = 4                45 ÷ 5 = 9                              70 ÷ 10 = 7
35 ÷ 7 = 5             48 ÷ 8 = 6                42 ÷ 6 = 7                        28 ÷ 4 = 7
27 ÷ 3 = 9             32 ÷ 8 = 4

3. Elton John travelled around the world for a tour. When he arrived back home he calculated he had travelled to 32 different countries in 160 days. Approximately how many days did he spend in each country? 160 ÷ 32= 5.So Elton John spend approximately 5 days in each country.

4. Hine and her family were making a 180 km trip to Cape Reinga. Their car broke down ¼ of the way. How many kilometres had they travelled before their car broke down? 4 x 45 = 180. Hine and her family had travelled 45km before their car broke down.

4. On an Air New Zealand flight to England, every passenger receives three meals during the flight. How many meals are needed if there are 184 passengers on a flight?184 x 3 = 552

5. A farmer received $264 from his tomatoes.He sold the tomatoes for $3 a kilogram. How many kilograms did the farmer sell?264 ÷ 3= 88.The farmer sold 88kg of tomatoes.

6. Sione and his sister sold pineapple pies for a fundraiser. They made $220 from selling pies for $4. How many pies did they sell? 220 ÷ 4= 55.Sione and his sisters sold 55 pineapple pies.
