Answer (1)
To create a number sentence for the situation described, let's break it down step by step.
David picked a total of 112 cabbages. He packed these cabbages into bags, with each bag containing 8 cabbages. To find out how many bags he packed, you would divide the total number of cabbages by the number of cabbages per bag.
The number sentence for this scenario is:
112 รท 8 = 14
This means that David packed 14 bags, each containing 8 cabbages. The total number of bags sent to the market is 14, which matches the information given in your question.
By this division, you ensure that each bag has the same number of cabbages, verifying that the total number of cabbages, 112, is distributed equally into 14 bags. This also confirms that 14 bags containing 8 cabbages each equal the original 112 cabbages picked.
