Question

a fruit vendor has 291 apples to sell. if she wants to arrange them equally into 4 baskets, how many apples will be in each basket?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

We need to divide the total number of apples (291) by the number of baskets (4) to find the number of apples in each basket. This is a division operation: $291 \div 4$.

Step2: Perform the division

When we divide 291 by 4, we get $291\div4 = 72.75$. But since we are dealing with apples (whole objects), if we consider equal arrangement (maybe the problem expects a quotient without remainder, but as per the calculation), the result of the division is 72.75. However, if we assume the problem is about average (even with decimal), the calculation is as above.

Answer:

72.75 (If we consider the mathematical division result. If we need whole apples, we might have a remainder, but the calculation of the quotient is 72.75)
