Question

Zach filled 581 one-liter bottles with apple cider. He distributed the bottles to 4 stores. Each store received the same number of bottles. How many liter bottles did each of the stores receive? Were there any bottles left over?

a. 145 liter bottles (There were 2 bottles remaining)
b. 142 liter bottles (There were 2 bottles remaining)
c. 145 liter bottles (There was 1 bottle remaining)

Answer 1

Each store received 145 bottles of apple cider. There were 2 bottles left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zach filled 581 one-liter bottles with apple cider. He distributed the bottles to 4 stores. Each store received the same number of bottles. To find out how many bottles each store received, divide the total number of bottles (581) by the number of stores (4).

581 ÷ 4 = 145.75

Since each store received the same number of bottles, we can round down to 145 bottles per store. However, since we can't have a fraction of a bottle, there were 2 bottles left over.

Answer 2

a. 145 liter bottles (There were 2 bottles remaining)

Step-by-step explanation:

From this question, the total number of bottles that Zach had to fill with apple cider is 581.

He has to distribute these bottles to 4 stores after filling

The question says each store received same number of bottles.

To get the number of bottles received by each store, we divide 581 by 4

= 581 / 4

= 145.25

Therefore each store gets 145 bottles each and there would be a remainder of 2 bottles
