Jill has to distribute 160 candies between 20 children. If each child gets the same number of candies, how many did each one get?
A. 12
B. 10
C. 8
D. 9

To determine how many candies each child gets, you can simply divide the total number of candies by the number of children. So, 160 candies ÷ 20 children = 8 candies per child. Therefore, the correct answer is C. 8.

Now, let’s think about a fun candy distribution party! Imagine Jill instead had 240 candies to distribute among 15 children. Each child would then get 16 candies. Isn’t it great how math can help you plan the perfect party and make sure everyone gets an equal share of sweetness?

Remember, sharing is always the way to go. In real life, this kind of division helps us in lots of situations, like planning snacks for a group or equally splitting the costs between friends. It can really come in handy at potlucks or birthday parties, ensuring that everyone enjoys the same yummy treats.
