How to pose a word problem that will match the solution

Hey there!

In this question, we have to create a word problem that will model 7 divided by 2. 7 divided by 2 essentially states you're trying to divide 7 into groups of 2. A word problem would be:

John had 7 apples, and we wanted to divide them evenly among him and his friend Jen. How much of the apples would each of the get?

To solve this, we simply compute 7/2 to get 7/2 or 3 1/2 like shown in the problem.

Hope this helps!
