In division, which of the following terms means 'an average amount per group'?

Sum
Quotient
Product
Remainder

The correct answer is: Sum

The term that means 'an average amount per group' in the context of division is "quotient." The quotient is the result you obtain when you divide one number by another, representing how many times the divisor fits into the dividend. When you divide a total by the number of groups, this gives you the average amount per group, which is exactly what the quotient represents. The other terms mentioned do not pertain to the concept of average per group. The sum refers to the total amount obtained by adding numbers together, product relates to results from multiplication, and remainder is what is left over after division when the numbers do not divide evenly. Each of these terms serves a distinct purpose in mathematics and does not convey the idea of an average.
