A peek inside
12 sweets are shared equally on 3 plates. How many on each plate, and are the shares equal?
Deal one sweet to each plate until 12 are gone.<br>Each plate holds 4 sweets.<br>4 + 4 + 4 = 12, and 12 ÷ 3 = 4.<br>4 on each plate, and yes, the shares are equal, because every plate has the same.
Try this at home: 12 sweets are shared equally on 3 plates. How many on each plate, and are the shares equal?
