Question

Bob has 88 muffins he put 9 in each box nd the left in a smaller box.how many more muffins are left in the smaller box?

Answer 1

7 muffins are left in the smaller box

1) Since Bob has 88 muffins and puts 9 in each box and the leftovers in the smaller box. The muffins are whole, so can't be fractioned. Then

88/9 is not divisible by 9. And 9 x 10 = 90 Then:

9 x 9 = 81

88 -81 = 7

So there are 7 muffins in the smaller box.
