them equally in 4 plastic bags. How many cans of sardines were there in each
plastic bag?
To solve the problem, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Read the problem carefully.
Step 2: Decide what to do.
What do we know?
Based on the given problem, there were 36 cans of sardines to be placed in 4
plastic bags. We need to divide to get the number of cans of sardines to be
placed in each bag.
Robert donated 36 cans of sardines to the street children. He had packed
them equally in 4 plastic bags. How many cans of sardines were there in each
plastic bag?

Step 3: Write the equation and solve.

36 cans of ÷ 4 plastic Number of cans of sardines

sardines bags
= in each bags
36 ÷ 4 = 9
Robert donated 36 cans of sardines to the street children. He had packed
them equally in 4 plastic bags. How many cans of sardines were there in each
plastic bag?

Step 4: Check if the answer is correct.

Since:
36 ÷ 4 = 9 Therefore, the answer is
9 x 4 = 36 correct.
