Question

Tammy says the quotient of 799 ÷ 6 is 133 with a remainder of 1. Use multiplication to check Tammy's answer.

A) 133 × 6 + 1 = 799
B) 133 × 6 - 1 = 799
C) 133 × 6 = 799 + 1
D) 133 × 6 = 799 - 1

Answer 1

Tammy's division of 799 by 6 is correct. To check her work, we multiply the quotient (133) by the divisor (6) and add the remainder (1), resulting in 799, confirming her answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To check Tammy's division calculation of 799 ÷ 6, we can perform a multiplication check. If Tammy says the quotient is 133 with a remainder of 1, we would multiply 133 by 6 and then add the remainder to see if we get the original number, 799. Hence, the correct expression to check Tammy's answer would be: ‘133 × 6 + 1 = 799’.

Let's perform the calculation:

• First, multiply the quotient by the divisor: 133 × 6 = 798
• Then, add the remainder to the product: 798 + 1 = 799

This shows that Tammy's division was correct, thus the correct choice is:

A) 133 × 6 + 1 = 799
