Julian has 56 books arranges them in seven groups. Julian buys 16 more books and groups them in the same way as his other books. Write an eaquation to sho how may groups of books, g, Julian has in all. Then solve.

The equation that would represent the number of groups in al would be:

(56/8) + (16/8) = g

7 + 2 = g

9 = g

There would be 9 groups.

You will use the information to write a number sentence that would show the total number of groups.
