Question

Lilo has 4 turtles and 14 strawberries. She gives each turtle the same number of

berries, and she uses as many berries as she can. How many berries does Lilo
give each turtle? How many berries are left?
14÷4

Answer 1

14÷4=3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

14÷4 will not result in a whole number, therefore she would give each turtle 3.5 strawberries with none leftover. However, if she wanted to divide them where each turtle gets only whole strawberries, she would have to divide 12 by 4, which gives the turtles exactly 3 strawberries each and 2 leftover.
