Laura is making ‘ants on a log’ for a snack. She spreads peanut butter onto a stalk of celery and then puts raisins on the peanut butter. The table below shows how many total raisins, or ‘ants’, are on different numbers of celery stalks, or ‘logs’. There is an equal number of raisins on each celery stalk. How many ‘logs’ can Laura make with 63 raisins?

• 4

• 5

• 7

• 8

Answer explanation

To find how many logs Laura can make with 63 raisins, divide 63 by the number of raisins per log. If each log has 8 raisins, then 63 ÷ 8 = 7.875, which means she can make 8 logs with some raisins left over. Thus, the answer is 8.
