Question

Leda makes 73 oatmeal muffins for a bake sale. She accidentally drops five of them and throws them away. She puts as many of the remaining muffins as possible into 13 containers so that each container has the same number of muffins. How many of the remaining muffins does Ieda have left over?

Answer 1

Answer:

She would have 5 muffins left over

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Do 73-3, because she dropped 3 and threw them away
2. Take 70 and divide it by 13, there are 70 muffins and 13 containers (I used a calculator)
3. Then you get a decimal (if you use a calculator), look at the whole number which should be 5
4. Next, you multiply 5 by 13, this will allow you to find what you would 'add into' a normal division problem (if you were to do it on paper)
5. Lastly, take 70 and subtract what you got for step for (it should be 65, so the equation would be 70-65)
