Question

If Jessica split 75 pencils between 8 people in her class and kept the leftovers, how many pencils did each classmate get?

Answer 1

Answer: Each classmate got 9 pencils

Step-by-step explanation: if you divide 8 from 75, you get 9 pencils for each classmate and 3 for Jessica to keep.

Answer 2

75 divided by 8 is about 9. so each person in her class gets 9 pencils, while Jessica is left with 0.375 of a pencil.
