Question

Choose the correct answer to 7, 215 + 34: a) 212 R2 b) 213 c) 211 R41 d) 212 R9

Answer 1

When 7,249 is divided by 34, the quotient is 212 and the remainder is 9. The correct answer is a) 212 R7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the correct answer with the remainder, we need to perform long division.

It seems there was a misunderstanding in my previous responses. Let's correct the explanation based on the steps you provided:

• Divide 34 into the first two digits of 7215 (72).

This gives a quotient of 2 because 34 × 2 = 68, and 72 - 68 = 4.

• Bring down the next digit, 1, to make the number 41 (from the remainder 4 and the next digit 1).

• 34 goes into 41 once.

After multiplying 34 × 1, subtract the result from 41, leaving a remainder of 7.

• Finally, bring down the last digit, 5, to make the number 75.

34 goes into 75 twice, and 34 × 2 = 68, which, when subtracted from 75, leaves a remainder of 7.

So, 7215 divided by 34 is 212 with a remainder of 7. Therefore, the correct answer is a) 212 R7.
