Lizzy: Aliya and her classmates are sent by their teacher to the field to collect insects for science class study. The Boys collected 200 insects and the girls collected 300 insects. The teacher decided to divide the class equally into four groups that each get an equal number of insects so that each group could study together. What was the number of insects given to each group?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
The total number of insects collected is 200 insects + 300 insects = 500 insects. When the teacher divided the class into four groups, each group got 500 insects / 4 groups = 125 insects / group. Final answer: 125.
