Question

If you have 290 marbles and you want to share them equally amongst 4 friends, how many would be left?- Ala?i R, 10yrs old

Answer 1

1/2 (or 0.5) marble

Explanation:

This problem wants you to find the remainder of 290 divided by 4.

290 / 4 = 72.5, which is equivalent to 72 1/2.

The 1/2 means that half a marble is left after sharing the 290 marbles equally between the 4 friends.
