📝 Let's Learn
Dividing money equally is something you'll do your whole life — splitting bills, sharing gifts, or dividing earnings.
Example 1: 4 friends share ₦100 equally. ₦100 ÷ 4 = ₦25 each. Check: 4 × ₦25 = ₦100. ✓
Example 2: 5 siblings share ₦200 from their grandmother. ₦200 ÷ 5 = ₦40 each. Check: 5 × ₦40 = ₦200. ✓
Example 3: 2 friends earn ₦150 together washing a car. ₦150 ÷ 2 = ₦75 each. Check: 2 × ₦75 = ₦150. ✓
