Question

Mitzi has 38 coins. She divides the coins equally among herself and her 3 brothers. How many coins dose each person get? Are any coins left over

Answer 1

Answer:9 with a remainder of 2

Explanation:

Herself + brothers = 4 people

38 divided by 4 = 9 coins and 2 left over

Answer 2

Each person will get 9 coins and 2 coins are left over.

Step by step explanation:

It is given that Mitzi has 38 coins. She divides the coins equally among herself and her 3 brothers.

Total number of persons is 4.

She wants to divide the amount equally among herself and her 3 brothers.

`(38)/(4)=(36+2)/(4)=9+(2)/(4)`

When we divide 38 by 4, then the quotient is 9 and the remainder is 2.

It means each person will get 9 coins and 2 coins are left over.
