Ms. Skeen bought 3 pounds of candy for the Christmas party. There was a total of 147 pieces of candy. She wants to divide it among her 26 students. How many pieces of candy will each student receive?
The 3 lbs of candy is irrelevant, so we can discard that. All you need to do is divide 147 by 26, which is 5.65 pieces of candy. Each student will get 5 pieces, with a few left over.
