Question

If you divide two numbers, the quotient is 24, and the remainder is 5. What is the dividend?

a) 29
b) 119
c) 124
d) 145

Answer 1

The dividend can be calculated by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the dividend, we will use the formula: Dividend = Quotient x Divisor + Remainder.

In this case, the Quotient is 24 and the Remainder is 5. We don't have the Divisor, but we can calculate it by subtracting the Remainder from the Quotient+Remainder. So, 24-5 = 19.

Now we can substitute the values into the formula: Dividend = 24 x 19 + 5 = 456 + 5 = 461.

Therefore, the correct answer is d) 145.
