Question

Claire cut some apples into eighths. She and her friends ate all but 17 pieces. How many whole apples and parts of apples did she have left over?

Answer 1

So they had 17 left over and one Apple was cut into 8 slices. 8 goes into 17 2 times with one left over. So it would be 2 whole apples with 1 slice left over. So 17 slices converts to 2 wholes and 1 part (slice)
