divide to find the quotient and remainder.

decide how to use the quotient and remainder to answer the question.

Answer 1

She will place 8 loaves at each location. She will have 5 loaves leftover.

Quotient: 8

Remainder: 5

Explanation:

You will have to divide the 53 loaves around evenly, which means that:

53 (loaves) / 6 (locations) = 8 loaves per location, with 5 leftovers

The quotient, the answer, is 8, which means she will have 8 loaves at each location.

The remainder is 5, which means she has 5 loaves left over that she cannot evenly distribute.
