Mr. Brokaw's class has 60 students, 1 over 4
of the students needed help for an upcoming test. If Mr. Brokaw equally divides the students that need help into 5 small groups, how many students are in each group?
Out of the 60 students, 60*(1/4) = <<60*(1/4)=15>>15 students needed help for the upcoming test.
If Mr. Brokaw equally divides the students that need help into 5 small groups, then each group has 15/5 = <<15/5=3>>3 students. Answer: \boxed{3}.
To find out how many students are in each group, we first need to determine how many students needed help for the upcoming test.
If 1 over 4 of the 60 students needed help, we can calculate it like this:
1/4 x 60 = 60/4 = 15 students
So, 15 students needed help for the upcoming test.
Now, Mr. Brokaw needs to divide these 15 students equally into 5 small groups.
To find the number of students in each group, we can divide the total number of students by the number of groups:
15 students ÷ 5 groups = 3 students
Therefore, there are 3 students in each small group.
To find out how many students are in each group, we need to divide the total number of students who need help by the number of groups.
First, let's determine the total number of students who need help. We know that 1/4 of the students need help, and there are 60 students in total. To find this number, we can multiply the total number of students by 1/4:
(60 students) x (1/4) = 60/4 = 15 students
So, there are 15 students who need help.
Now, let's divide the total number of students who need help by the number of groups, which is 5:
15 students ÷ 5 groups = 3 students
Therefore, there are 3 students in each group.
