Question

What is half the sum of the remainder of 71 divided by 11 and the quotient of 143 divided by 11?

Answer 1

Solution:

Given;

What is half the sum of the remainder of 71 divided by 11 and the quotient of 143 divided by 11?

71 divided by 11 is

$\begin{gathered} \frac{71}{11}=6\frac{5}{11} \\ The\text{ remainder is 5} \end{gathered}$

143 divided by 11 is

$\begin{gathered} \frac{143}{11}=13 \\ The\text{ quotient is 13} \end{gathered}$

The sum of the remainder of 71 divided by 11 and the quotient of 143 divided by 11 is

$=5+13=18$

Thus, the half of the sum is

$=\frac{1}{2}\times18=9$

Hence, the answer is 9
