Questions about Division Word Problems

What does the Division Word Problems worksheet cover?

It practises sharing problems — 6 questions for Grade 3, all on Common Core 3.OA.A.3: Solve story problems using multiplication and division. The instruction to pupils is “Read carefully, then work out the answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
