Clue 5
Division facts (1-12) — the last clue
The griefer shared their stolen iron ingots into equal piles for their team. Let us divide the total loot to trace where they ran.
First solve each problem. Then find each answer in the list below and cross that sentence out. One sentence will be left — that's exactly what the villain did!
Step 1 — solve these
24 ÷ 2 = ?
11 ÷ 11 = ?
