Counters are for doing math. You use them to count. Pretend you have a math question like this: 10 - 5 = . So you get 10 counters and take away 5 and see how many you get.

How do you share six counters among 3 boxes in math?
In order to share six counters between three boxes, put two in each box.
What are math counters?
Little plastic circles that help understand how to do the 4 problems in math and teach students about the properties of negative numbers.
How many blue counters must be added so that the ratio of yellow counters to total counters is 1 to 6?
Let the number of Yellow counters you already have is Y Let the number of non-yellow counters you already have is Z Then the current ratio of Yellow counters to the total counters is Y : Y + Z Let the number of Blue counters you add be B After they have been added, the ratio of Yellow counters to the total counters is Y : Y + Z + B This is 1 : 6 Thus Y = 1 and Y + Z + B = 6 → Z + B = 5 Which means that for the Yellow counters you have you will have five times as many counters made up of whatever non-Yellow counters you originally had plus the Blue counters you added. Thus to find out how many Blue counters to add, take the number of Yellow counters, multiply it by 5 and subtract the number of non yellow counters you originally had. examples: You had 6 Yellow counters Add 6 × 5 - 0 = 30 Blue counters Which gives you 6 Yellow and 30 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 6 : 30 + 6 = 6 : 36 = 1 : 6 You had 4 Yellow counters and 6 Red counters Add 4 × 5 - 6 = 14 Blue counters Which gives you 4 Yellow counters, 6 Red counters and 14 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 4 : 6 + 14 + 4 = 4 : 24 = 1 : 6 You had 4 Yellow Counters, 2 Blue counters and 3 Red counters Add 4 × 5 - (2 + 3) = 15 Blue counters Which gives you 4 Yellow counters, 3 Red counters and 2 + 15 = 17 Blue counters → ratio Yellow : total counters = 4 : 3 + 17 + 4 = 4 : 24 = 1 : 6
If 12 counters are 3/4 of a set what is the whole set?
To get The answer do the math 12 divided by three is 4 so then multiply 4*4=16 so 16 is your answer
How many counters are needed to make a square array with 5 counters on one side?
If you're making an outline of a square, then 16 counters. You have the 4 corner counters, each shared by 2 sides and then in between the corner counters there are 3 counters on each of the 4 sides (4*3 = 12). If you're filling the inside of the square with counters, then you have 5 rows of 5 = 25 counters.

If 20 counters are the whole set what fraction of the set is 16 counters?
16 counters is 4/5 of all 20 counters.16/20
If 14 counters is half then what is ONE?
If 14 counters is half, you multiply it by 2 to get 28 counters, which is one.
