Answer 1

When dividing 78 by N with a remainder of 8, it can be represented as:
`(78)/(10) = \underline {7} \ Remainder \ \ 8`

Solving word problems.

Word problems in mathematics are problem encountered with the aim of solving them in the appropriate mathematical convention. Word problems can sometimes be expressed in algebraic form, polynomial, fractions, graphs etc.

In the given question, it was stated that 78 divided by an unknown number N produces a result such that the remainder has a number 8.

Mathematically, this can be expressed as:

`(78)/(N) = \underline {(Result)} \ Remainder \ \ 8`

The value that can be substituted into N to give a result whereby the remainder of that result will be 8 is 10. So, if N = 10, then

`(78)/(10) = \underline {7} \ Remainder \ \ 8`
