How to Divide Money Step by Step:

First comes the total amount, then comes the number of friends. Divide them fairly, and you'll see how much each one gets!

1. Look at the total money you have (like $10).
2. Count how many people or groups you want to share with (like 2 friends).
3. Split the money equally by dividing the total by the number of shares ($10 ÷ 2 = $5).
4. Check your work: Multiply the answer by the number of shares to make sure it matches the total ($5 × 2 = $10). Ta-da!

Let’s Try an Example Together!

Say you have $12, and you want to share it equally between 3 friends. How much does each friend get?

Step 1: Write down the total money → $12.
Step 2: Count the friends → 3.
Step 3: Divide → $12 ÷ 3 = $4.
Step 4: Check → $4 × 3 = $12. Perfect!

Each friend gets $4! Sharing feels great, doesn’t it?
