Tom had 216 marbles. First, he divided his marbles into 3 equal groups. He put
two groups in a bag. He took the remaining group of marbles and divided it
evenly between his three best friends. How many marbles did each of his
friends get?
Firstly, you would want to divide 216 by 3. That is 72. Next you would want to divide 72 by 3, because there are 3 best friends. So 72 divided by 3 equals 24. I hope this helps.
