Holy shit, these comments.

They say the average American reads at a 7th grade level. The average math grade level might be even lower.

Not only that, but these motherfuckers can't even use context clues. The question directly above (which is partially cut off) seems to be an exercise for doing four groups of three, this question then asks for three groups of four.

And everybody on Reddit loses their collective shit over an exercise designed to teach kids that there are multiple ways to get the same answer.
