Explanation

The chapter applies division to find the number of ants. Each ant has 6 legs. Total legs = 600. Number of ants = 600 ÷ 6 = 100 ants. This shows the pattern: 6 ÷ 6 = 1, 60 ÷ 6 = 10, 600 ÷ 6 = 100.

Solution Steps

  1. Identify the given values: Total legs = 600 and Legs per ant = 6.

  2. Set up the division formula: Number of ants = Total legs ÷ Legs per ant.

  3. Substitute the values into the formula: 600 ÷ 6.

  4. Calculate the result: 100 ants.
