Question

3 An art class is making mosaics with glass squares. Each of the 121 students will get the same number of glass squares to use. The total number of glass squares for the students to use is shown. How many glass squares will each student get? A. Write an expression that can be used to find the number of glass squares each student will receive. B. Complete the given division problem to find the number of squares each student will receive. C. How many whole glass squares will each student receive? 1,240 glass squares D. A remainder is the amount left over when an amount cannot be divided equally. What does the remainder mean in this context? 121)1240 30 R​

Answer 1

Answer: A. To find the number of glass squares each student will receive, we need to divide the total number of squares by the number of students.

We can write this as:

x = number of glass squares per student

x = 1240 / 121

B. To find the number of squares each student will receive, we need to solve for x by dividing 1240 by 121.

1240 ÷ 121 = 10.246753246753247

C. Each student will get 10 whole glass squares.

D. The remainder in this context is the number of glass squares that cannot be distributed evenly among the students. In this case, the remainder is 30. It means that there will be 30 glass squares left over after each student has received 10 squares. It's like remainder in division where after dividing 1240 by 121 the quotient is 10 and the remainder is 30.
