Which is the best strategy to solve this problem?
Cary has 49 basketballs and 35 volleyballs. He divided all the basketballs and volleyballs equally among 7 boxes.
How many balls were in each box?
A.
Draw a diagram.
Draw 49 basketballs and 35 volleyballs. Divide each group into 7 smaller groups. Then divide each of those groups into 2.
B.
Guess and test.
Guess that the number of items in each box is 8. Multiply 7 × 8. Ask yourself if this is the same as the sum of 49 + 35? If not, revise your guess, and test your answer again.
