Question

Patricia has 62 cookies for her 5 teachers. She wants to give each teacher the same number of cookies. How many cookies will each teacher receive? How many cookies will be left over?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each teacher will get 12 cookies and there will be 2 left over

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x 12 = 60

62 - 2 = 60

Answer 2

Answer:

12; 2 leftover.

Step-by-step explanation:

60 / 5 = 12 cookies.

I got "60" by decreasing 62 until I got a solid number.

Therefore, 2 cookies will be leftover.
