Question

A florist has 1,276 flowers to divide into bunches of 9 flowers. The florist makes as many bunches as possible.

How many bunches of flowers does the florist make, and how many flowers are left over?

Answer 1

The florist can make 141 bunches of flowers and there would be 7 flowers left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of bunches of flowers the florist can make, we need to divide the total number of flowers by the number of flowers in each bunch. The florist has 1,276 flowers and each bunch has 9 flowers, so the number of bunches is:

Number of bunches = Total number of flowers ÷ Number of flowers in each bunch

Number of bunches = 1,276 ÷ 9 = 141 remainder 7

Therefore, the florist can make 141 bunches of flowers and there would be 7 flowers left over.

Answer 2

Answer:141

Step-by-step explanation:

1276/9=141.7…

You can’t have 0.7 of a bunch

So you can only make 141 full bunches
