Question

How many times can 5 go into 18

Answer 1

18/5 = 3.6 so we would round the number to make it 4 times

Explanation:

divide 18 by 5.

let's say you had 18 apples and you have to give 3 people the same amount of apples. If we give 5 apples to each of the 3 people, we would have given them a total of 15 out of 18 apples, that would leave 3 apples. You would then give each person 1 of the 3 apples so that all the people have the same amount of apples.

So if you count the total apples each person had, it would be 4. So we know that the answer is 4 because each apple represents how many times the apples to apples each.

Answer 2

To find out how many times 5 can go into 18 without exceeding it, you need to divide 18 by 5.

The division of 18 by 5 gives 3 as the quotient. The quotient is the result you obtain when you perform the division.

However, since 5 doesn't evenly divide 18, there is a remainder leftover.

To find the remainder, you multiply the divisor (5) by the quotient (3), subtracting this product from the original number (18).

So, you calculate 5 * 3 = 15.

Then, you subtract 15 from 18, which gives 3.

This means that 5 goes into 18 three times with a remainder of 3.
