Question: Natalie prepares 16 ounces of broccoli for family dinner night. Each of the 4 people in Natalie’s family eat the same amount of broccoli, and there are 4 ounces of broccoli left over. How many ounces of broccoli does each family member eat?
Answer: 3 ounces
Solution: First, we subtract the leftover broccoli; 16 ounces - 4 ounces = 12 ounces of broccoli are eaten by Natalie's family. Since each family member eats the same amount, we divide 12 ounces into 4 equal groups and get 3 ounces in each. So, each family member eats 3 ounces of broccoli.
