What children learn in Level 36
- Nia shares 373 jellybeans equally among 8 friends. Start with an easy part: 8 times 40 is 320, so each friend gets 40.
- 373 minus 320 leaves 53 jellybeans. 8 times 6 is 48, so each friend gets 6 more.
- 53 minus 48 leaves 5. That's less than 8, so it's left over. Each friend gets 40 plus 6: 46 jellybeans, with 5 left over.
- Check: 8 times 46 is 368, and 368 plus the 5 left over is 373. It works!
