Solving Division Word Problems: How Many Students in Each Row | Khan Academy

Understanding the Problem

• 🎯 The problem involves distributing 18 students into three equal rows for a performance.
• ❓ The goal is to determine the number of students that will be in each individual row.

Modeling the Solution

• ✍️ The presenter models the problem by drawing three lines to represent the rows.
• 👥 Students (represented by circles) are then distributed one by one into each row until all 18 students are placed.

Calculating the Result

• 🔢 By distributing the students, it's observed that there are six students in each of the three rows.
• ✅ This is confirmed by the equation 6 + 6 + 6 = 18, or 6 * 3 = 18.
• ➗ The division equation representing this scenario is 18 divided by 3 equals 6.
