Problem #1: Ms. Barrett is doing an art project with her class. She has 4 sheets of tissue paper. If she gives each student a third of a sheet, how many students will get tissue paper?​

12 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you had 4 sheets, you would want to start by dividing them all in 3's, since that's easiest. (open the file i just for a better example of how the sheet should look).

Now, let's assume these sheets are regular office sized paper.

Start by handing 1 third out to A student.

Now, since there are 4 sheets, divided in 3 sections, we multiply to see the result of how many sections there are.

4 x 3 = 12.

Therefore, 12 students will receive a third of the tissue paper.
