Learn how to divide using an array with this video.
Balloons! I love balloons!
Don't worry, you can share them out equally by dividing the number of balloons by the number of you!
We could use an array. There are 4 of you鈥3 of you鈥nd 27 balloons.
If you divide them in to 3 groups, and then count how many balloons are in each group鈥ou get 9!
So you each get 9 balloons because 27 divided by 3 is 9.
Just like three times 9 is 27.
And that's fair and everyone's happy!
