Question

How many marbles are left if 9 friends equally share a package of 75 marbles?

Answer 1

8 remainder 3

Explanation:

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 9 on the left side and the dividend 75 on the right side. step 2.The divisor (9) goes into the first digit of the dividend (7), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (9 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (7 - 0 = 7) Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (5)

Step 6:

The divisor (9) goes into the bottom number (75), 8 time(s). Therefore, put 8 on top

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (9 x 8 = 72) and write that answer at the bottom

Step 8:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (75 - 72 = 3) and write the answer at the bottom

Answer 2

3 because 72 divided by 9 is 8 which means they all got 8 marbles each with 3 left over
