Struggling with word problems that ask "how many units in one group"? You're not alone! These are common 'units per group' problems, and they're easier to tackle than you think. The key is understanding the core concept: **division**.
Think of it this way: you have a total number of items and you're splitting them equally into groups. The question is asking you to find out how many items are in *each* group.
**Example:** If you have 24 cookies and want to share them equally among 6 friends, how many cookies does each friend get? The problem is asking: how many cookies per friend (group)? The solution: 24 cookies / 6 friends = 4 cookies per friend.
Look for keywords like 'each,' 'per,' 'equally,' or 'divided.' Identify the total number of items and the number of groups. Then, simply divide the total number of items by the number of groups. Mastering these problems boosts your understanding of division and sets you up for more complex math challenges. Happy problem-solving!
