Mr. Jones gave each of his 3 children an equal number of paintbrushes to carry to the garage. How many total paintbrushes did he give them?
a. 3
b. 5
c. 9
d. 11
Answer: c.
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must find out which of the answers can be divided by 3 without a remainder left over. By examining each answer we realize that we can divide 9 by 3 without a remainder. Therefore each child carried 3 brushes and all of them combined carried a total of 9 brushes.
