If you had 15 pieces of identical candies, and you want to distribute those candies to 5 children, equally.Hello and good morning everyone,
How would you distribute 47 lbs of concrete to 25 five gallons buckets evenly?

How many candies would each child get?
Please show how you arrived at the answer, mathematically.

15 ÷ 5 = 3
47lb ÷ 125 gallons= 2.65
What is 2.65 in lbs, gallons and cups?

There are 25 buckets (5 gallon is an unnecessary information at this point)Hello and good morning everyone,

We have 47 lbs 0f concrete
So each bucket will receive (47/25 = )1.88 lbs of concrete. (Check - 1.88 * 25 = 47 → checks)
