class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-equal-groups-in-real-life\">Equal Groups in Real Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We can find many real life examples where equal groups are used. For example, any two packets of cookies of the same brand and same size have the same number of cookies.A few more examples are shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"727\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-2.png\" alt=\"Equal groups in real life\" class=\"wp-image-13017\" title=\"Equal groups in real life\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-2.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-2-256x300.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-equal-groups-as-repeated-addition\">Equal Groups as Repeated Addition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">If we have multiple equal groups, then we can use repeated addition to find the total number of objects. Let\u2019s see how we can do that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">There are 4 groups, each having 6 stars. So, if we add the number 6 four times, we can find the total number of stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-3.png\" alt=\"Equal groups as repeated addition\" class=\"wp-image-13018\" title=\"Equal groups as repeated addition\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-3.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-3-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, total number of stars $= 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24$ stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-equal-groups-as-multiplication-sentence\">Equal Groups as Multiplication Sentence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">There is another way of finding the total number of objects arranged in equal groups. It is multiplication. We can represent equal groups as a multiplication expression and then solve it to find the answer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Let\u2019s consider the same example of equal groups of stars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-4.png\" alt=\"Equal groups as multiplication sentence\" class=\"wp-image-13019\" title=\"Equal groups as multiplication sentence\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-4.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-4-300x267.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, the total number of stars $= 4 \\times 6 = 24$ stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-equal-groups-as-division-sentence\">Equal Groups as Division Sentence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Division means distributing something into equal groups. So, if we are given equal groups, we can express them as a division expression. The quotient represents the number of groups or the group size. That is,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Total Number <\/strong>$\\div$<strong> Group Size = Number of Groups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Total Number <\/strong>$\\div$<strong> Number of Groups = Group Size<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-5.png\" alt=\"Equal groups as division sentence\" class=\"wp-image-13020\" width=\"620\" height=\"490\" title=\"Equal groups as division sentence\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-5.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-5-300x237.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-a-case-of-equal-groups\">A Case of Equal Groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Eddie visits a cookie store to purchase some cookies for guests. He places an order for 24 cookies on the counter. The cookies are packed in groups of 8. Eddie starts to figure out the answer to the question, \u201cHow many packets of cookies will he get?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Well, Eddie has learnt in his math class that models come handy in these sorts of situations. He creates a model in his mind that helps him find out how many equal groups he can make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-6.png\" alt=\"Equal groups of cookies\" class=\"wp-image-13021\" title=\"Equal groups of cookies\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-6.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-6-296x300.png 296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The storekeeper gave Eddie 3 packets. So, we can say that Eddie did his mind calculations correctly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-equal-groups-as-arrays\">Equal Groups as Arrays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">There is yet another way of representing groups that are equal and it is more organized. Consider the same example of 4 equal groups of stars. This time, arrange the stars in rows and columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-7.png\" alt=\"Equal groups as arrays\" class=\"wp-image-13022\" title=\"Equal groups as arrays\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-7.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Equal-Groups-7-300x263.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">This arrangement of the objects in rows and columns is known arrays. Multiplying the number of rows and columns in the given array gives the total number of objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, the total number of stars = rows \u00d7 columns $= 4 \\times 6 = 24$ stars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>James places some gummies on 3 plates as shown below.
