123 1480

Answer 1

The correct way to write the quotient when 1480 is divided into 12 equal parts with a remainder of 4 is 123. The remainder can be represented as 'R4' or '123 + 4/12', but '123' is the simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing 1480 into 12 equal parts with a remainder of 4, we are essentially finding out what the quotient is when we have a small amount left over (the remainder) after the division. To calculate the quotient correctly, we subtract the remainder from the total and then divide by 12. Here is the calculation:

1480 - 4 = 1476

Now, we divide 1476 by 12:

1476 ÷ 12 = 123

Therefore, the correct way to write the quotient would be 123 with a remainder of 4. Alternatively, the quotient can be represented as 123 R4 or 123 + 4/12, but the simplest form is just 123.
