Mr. Jobe decided to assigned 7 difficult word problems as a homework to each of the 7 groups. There were 7 students in each of the 7 groups. However, 4 students told Mr. Jobe they were going to be absent due to personal matters. Unfortunately, Mr. Jobe had to regroup the students in equal number to make it fair for everyone. So he decided divide equally into 9 groups. Now how many people are in each group?
The story is good. However, even if we write an equation based on this question, the equation comes out different, 49-4 ---- 5 Please clarify your story.

ReplyDeleteThe story is pretty good and its also creative, but, the wording is hard to understand and there's a grammar mistake. 'assigned' has to be assign.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good word problem, but it is kind of complicated to understand when you first read this problem.
