If there are 15 flowers TOTAL and 3 pots, you divide 15 by three (think of having 15 pieces of candy and dividing them among 3 people) you would have 5 each so the answer is 5! Another simple way is turning the problem around for example the problem here would be 15/3=? Remember,division backwards is always multiplication so turn this into ?x3=15 and figure out what times three is fifteen using a variable or just a question mark.
