i) Twelve children are divided into four equal groups.
How many chitdren are there in each group?
ii) What if they were divided into three groups?

Explanation

i) `(1)/(4)` of `12=3`

Number of children in each group `=3` Writing this as multiplication, `(1)/(4) xx 12=(1)/(4)` of `12=3`

ii) `(1)/(3)` of `12=4`

Number of children in each group `=4` Writing this as multiplication, `(1)/(3) xx 12=(1)/(3)` of `12=4`
