When answering a math problem,
you sometimes have choices.

Think of 2 different equations you can use to solve these problems.
Then choose the one that would be most efficient.

 puts an equal number of books on each shelf, how
 many books should he put on each shelf?


 

2.  Patty is inviting 8 friends to her birthday party. 
 If she wants to have 5 pieces of candy for each of
 her friends, how many pieces does she need. (Don't
