Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts. It answers the question: how many times does one number fit into another?

Dividing equally means sharing a total amount into the same number of parts or groups.

You divide the total number of chaperones (24) by the number of chaperones per class (3). So, 24 ÷ 3 = 8 classes.

To solve a division problem, you identify the total amount to be divided and the number of equal parts, then perform the division.

A muffin pan is a baking tray that holds multiple muffins, usually with 6 or 12 cups.

You divide the total number of muffins (48) by the number of muffins each pan holds (6). So, 48 ÷ 6 = 8 pans.

A lap is one complete circuit around a track or a specific distance run.

You divide the total laps (36) by the laps per day (12). So, 36 ÷ 12 = 3 days.

Bus capacity refers to the maximum number of passengers a bus can carry.

You divide the total number of students (36) by the bus capacity (18). So, 36 ÷ 18 = 2 buses.
