Ms. Peters has 36 red, blue, and green markers. She has an equal number of
each color of marker. She arranges the red markers in 2 equal groups. How
many red markers are in each group?
18
9
6
12

Firstly, we know that Ms. Peters has a total of 36 markers. There are 3 colours within these 36 markers. Because she has an equal number of each colour, divide 36 by 3 to find the number of red markers.

36÷3=12

Therefore, Ms. Peters has 12 red markers.

2) Find the number of red markers in each group

Ms. Peters then divides the red markers into 2 equal groups. Because we now know that there are 12 red markers, divide 12 by 2 to find this number.

12÷2=6

Therefore, there are 6 red markers in each group.

I hope this helps!
