You volunteered 6 hours last week and 12 hours this week. How many days did you volunteer if you volunteered 3 hours a day?

Use the equation:
[tex]\[ \frac{12}{3} = 4 \] [/tex]

Now, write and solve your own word problem involving division related to real life.

Example: You have 2 trays of flavored ice cubes. One tray has 16 ice cubes, and the other tray has 12 ice cubes. If you divide them equally among 4 friends, how many ice cubes does each friend get?

To solve the word problem, let's break it down step-by-step:

1. Understand the Ice Cube Situation:
- You have two trays of flavored ice cubes.
- One tray has 16 ice cubes.
- The other tray has 12 ice cubes.

2. Calculate the Total Number of Ice Cubes:
- Add the ice cubes from both trays together:
[tex]$ 16 + 12 = 28 $[/tex].

3. Determine the Number of Servings:
- Each serving consists of 8 ice cubes. We need to find out how many full servings you can make with the 28 ice cubes.
- To find the number of full servings, divide the total number of ice cubes by the serving size:
[tex]$ 28 \div 8 = 3 $[/tex] full servings.

Thus, from the 28 ice cubes, you can make 3 full servings of 8 cubes each.
