Four less than 72 shared in 6 equal groups

To solve this problem, we need to divide 72 by 6 to find out how many are in each group, and then subtract 4 from that result. Let's break it down step by step: 1. Divide 72 by 6 to find out how many are in each group: \[ \frac{72}{6} = 12 \] 2. Subtract 4 from that result to find out how many are in each group after taking four away: \[ 12 - 4 = 8 \] So, each group would have 8 items after taking four away from 72 and then dividing into 6 equal groups.
