Question

What is half the sum of the remainder of 71 divided by 11 and the quotient of 143 divided by 11?

Answer 1

Given;

What is half the sum of the remainder of 71 divided by 11 and the quotient of 143 divided by 11?

71 divided by 11 is

`\begin{gathered} (71)/(11)=6(5)/(11) \\ The\text{ remainder is 5} \end{gathered}`

143 divided by 11 is

`\begin{gathered} (143)/(11)=13 \\ The\text{ quotient is 13} \end{gathered}`

The sum of the remainder of 71 divided by 11 and the quotient of 143 divided by 11 is

`=5+13=18`

Thus, the half of the sum is

`=(1)/(2)*18=9`

Hence, the answer is 9
