Question

Mandy also has 10.625 zinnia seeds but they are smaller so she packs 65 seeds in a baggie once she packages all the zinnia seeds how many will she have left over

Answer 1

After dividing the initially indicated 10.625 (converted to 10625 seeds) by 65, Mandy will have 10 zinnia seeds left over once she packages them into baggies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the remainder of seeds after packaging them in groups. Mandy has 10.625 zinnia seeds in total and she wants to pack them in baggies with 65 seeds in each.

To find out how many seeds Mandy will have left over after packaging them, we need to divide the total number of seeds by the number of seeds per baggie.

First, we convert the 10.625 to a whole number by multiplying it by 1000 to account for the decimal place (since we cannot have a fraction of a seed). The multiplication gives us 10625 seeds. Next, we divide 10625 by 65, which equals 163 with a remainder. The division is as follows:

1. 10625 divided by 65 equals 163 remainder 10.
2. So Mandy can fill 163 baggies completely.
3. She will have 10 seeds left over.

Therefore, after packaging all the zinnia seeds into baggies of 65, Mandy will have 10 seeds remaining.
