Question

1. rowan collects 14 books to donate to his school. the books are divided equally among 4 classes. find how many books each class gets and how many books are left over.

$14 \div 4$
what is the greatest number of ones you can put in each group?
2 ones 3 ones 4 ones 5 ones

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total ones and groups

Total ones = 4, number of groups = 4

Step2: Calculate equal distribution

$\frac{4}{4} = 1$ (This is the base, but we check the maximum possible that fits. Wait, correction: The total ones from 14 is 4 ones (the single units part). We need to split 4 ones into 4 groups. The maximum per group is $\frac{4}{4}=1$? No, wait the options: Wait, 14 divided by 4: 43=12, remainder 2. Wait, the ones place is 4. 4 ones split into 4 groups: 1 each? No, the question is greatest number of ones per group. Wait, 4 ones total, 4 groups: maximum per group is 1, but that's not an option. Wait no, 14 is 1 ten and 4 ones. When dividing 14 by 4, we first split the ten into 10 ones, so total 14 ones. 14 divided by 4 is 3 per group (43=12) with 2 left. So the greatest number of ones per group is 3.

Step3: Verify with multiplication

$4 \times 3 = 12$, which is ≤14, and $4 \times 4 = 16 >14$, so 3 is the maximum.

Answer:

3 ones

Additionally, for the original book problem:

Step1: Divide total books by classes

$14 \div 4 = 3$ with a remainder of $2$

Step2: Interpret result

Each class gets 3 books, 2 left over.
