Dividing Chocolate Bars Among Nurses
Problem Statement
Six nurses are tasked with dividing five chocolate bars, each consisting of 6 rows and 4 pieces. The goal is to ensure that each nurse receives an equal amount of chocolate.
Calculation of Total Pieces
To determine how many 1×1 pieces each nurse will receive, we first calculate the total number of chocolate pieces available.
The total number of pieces in the five chocolate bars can be calculated as follows:
5 chocolate bars x 6 rows x 4 pieces = 120 pieces.
Distribution Among Nurses
Next, we divide the total number of pieces by the number of nurses to find out how many pieces each nurse gets:
120 pieces ÷ 6 nurses = 20 pieces per nurse.
Conclusion
In conclusion, each nurse will receive 20 pieces of chocolate.
