Question

Dr. Bethea has 11 pieces of fruit to give out to his 3 children. He wants to give each child the same number of pieces of fruit. How many pieces of fruit will be left over after he gives them out?

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Since in this case they aren't going to cut up the fruit, you find how many times 3 will go into 11 evenly. 3x3=9 which is the largest multiple of 3 that will fit into 11. 11 pieces subtract 9 pieces given to children = 2 pieces left. Hopefully this helps.
