Question

Teresa has just baked 19 cookies. She wants to put them in paper bags in groups of 3. How many groups of 3 can she make? How many cookies will she have

remaining?

Answer 1

She can do 6 bags of cookies and she will have 1 cookie left.

Explanation:

First we need to find the number of bags she can fully make, so we divide the number of cookies by the number of cookies that fit in each back, 19/3 = 6, so that's the number of bags she can do and the restant cookies will be 2 because 19-18=1.
