Question

When 1480 is divided into 12 equal parts, the remainder is 4. What is a correct way to write the quotient???

Please help!

Answer 1

Subtract 4 from 1480 to get 1476. Divide that by 12 to get 123. The quotient is 123 remainder 4.

Answer 2

`123=(1480-4)/(12)`

Explanation:

It's given that when 1480 is divided into 12 equal parts, the remainder is 4.

This statement is equivalent to the situation that when 1480 is divided by 12, remainder is 4.

We need to find the correct way to write the quotient .

We know that dividend × divisor = quotient

On dividing 1480 by 12 ,we get
`1480=12* 123+4`

we can write this as
`(1480-4)/(12)=123`

Using this we can easily express quotient in a correct way .

On subtracting 4 from 1480, we get 1480 - 4 = 1476

On dividing 1476 by 12, we get 123 .

`123=(1480-4)/(12)`
