Question

There are 9 students in the art club. The students shared 150 sheets of construction paper equally for an art project. How many sheets of paper were left over?

Answer 1

Answer: 6 sheets left over.

Explanation:

Given, Total students = 9

Total sheets = 150

If sheets were divided equally, then the number of sheets each student got = Total sheets ÷ Total students

= 150 ÷ 9

`= 16(6)/(9)`

So, each student got 16 sheets and 6 sheets left over.

Hence, 6 sheets were left over.
