Vicky parked 506 marbles in to her number of plastic containers each container either had 10 or eight marbles Vickie had limited space to keep the container so she must use least number of containers possible to pack all the marbles how many containers had 10 marbles think the solution is who is as many containers as possible with 10 marbles this means that you must divide

Answer:

50

Explanation:

I think that if she had limited space she would probably pack the most amount of marbles she could in one container. The Question asks "how many containers had 10 marbles " So you need to figure out how many containers she used. Saying that she packed 10 in every container, the amount of containers she probably filled up is 50. The six left over in 50.6 which you get when you divide 506 by 10 is left over so only the container will have 6 marbles, not ten, and the question asks how many with ten marbles.

Answer:

51

Explanation:

if you have 506 you split it up so you get 500 and 6

but there can't be a container with 6 marbles so you give 10 from the 500 so now you will get 490 and 16 the 490 divide by 10 = 490

after that 16 divide by 8 = 2 so 49 + 2 = 51
