Example

 

blue flower

 

A flower has 5 petals.

A bunch of these flowers have 55 petals between them.

 

How many flowers are in the bunch?

 

Answer

We need to think of where 55 comes in the 5 times table.

 

55 ÷ 5 = 11

 

11 flowers will have 55 petals, so there are 11 flowers in the bunch.
