Apitcher of fruit punch holds 2 gallons if 9 people share the entire pitcher equally how much punch does each person get

2×9= 18

18÷9= 2

2 cups of fruit punch.



Explanation: so, you divide. why do I know this? because it doesn't say "times," (multiplication word) "more than," (addition word) "less than/ left over." (subtraction word) so what your looking for is "equally," and "each."

So, can you do 2÷9? no, you cant. so you have to multiply 2×9 to get the answer. and what's the answer? 18!

so, now, can you divide 18÷9? yes!! why? because you can only divide big numbers like 18. and you can't divide small numbers like 2 or 9. do you get what I'm saying?

so, what's 18÷9? 2!!

I hope this helps! :) if you still don't understand it just please let me know :)
