Answer:

Each buyer receives 21 books, and there is 1 book left over

Explanation:

148 / 7 = 21.1429

Therefore, each buyer receives 21 books, since they all receive the same number, and they can't receive part of a book.

Therefore, we have a remainder of .1429

We can multiply 0.1429 by 7, and we get 1. This means we have 1 book left over.
