Here's an easy example:
We start with eighteen boxes. We divide these eighteen boxes by six. This means: how many groups of six can we make with the eighteen boxes that we have? Answer: 3.
Here's another example:
We start with forty-two boxes. We divide these forty-two boxes by six. This means: how many groups of six can we make with the forty-two boxes that we have? Answer: 7.
Try this problem.
We start with seventy-two boxes. We divide these seventy-two boxes by six. This means: how many groups of six can we make with the seventy-two boxes that we have? Answer: 12.
