Distributing 24 Video Games Among 3 Siblings - A Math Explanation for 10-Year-Olds

To find out how many video games each of Estephania's 3 younger siblings receives from her 24 video games, we need to use division.

Here’s a step-by-step explanation:

1. Understand the total number of video games: Estephania has a total of 24 video games.
2. Count the siblings: There are 3 younger siblings to share the video games with.
3. Set up the division: We want to divide 24 video games by 3 siblings. This can be written as:

24 ÷ 3

4. Perform the division: Think about how many times 3 can go into 24. You can start counting by 3s:
   • 3 goes into 3, 1 time (1x3=3)
   • 3 goes into 6, 2 times (2x3=6)
   • 3 goes into 9, 3 times (3x3=9)
   • 3 goes into 12, 4 times (4x3=12)
   • 3 goes into 15, 5 times (5x3=15)
   • 3 goes into 18, 6 times (6x3=18)
   • 3 goes into 21, 7 times (7x3=21)
   • 3 goes into 24, 8 times (8x3=24)
5. Conclusion: Since 3 goes into 24 exactly 8 times, each of Estephania's 3 younger siblings will receive 8 video games.

So, each sibling gets 8 video games!
