Introduction to Dividing Whole Numbers

Rows of goodie bags on a table at a child's birthday party Julio is throwing a birthday party for his little brother, and he has decorated goodie bags for the nine kids coming to the party. Now he needs to evenly divide up the trinkets he purchased from the toy store into each bag. He has a pack of 18 glow sticks, a bag of 36 mini candy bars, and a sheet of 90 stickers. Julio will use division to determine how many of each item to add to each bag.
