Question

Natalie has 412 apples that she must package into bags. Each bag must hold 8 apples. Natalie divides 412 by 8 and gets an answer of 51 R 4. What is the correct interpretation of R 4 for this situation? 1. Natalie can fill 4 more bags after filling 51 bags. 2. Natalie has 4 bags left after filling 51 bags. 3. Natalie has 4 apples left after filling 51 bags. 4. Natalie can fill at most 51 bags with 4 apples each.

Answer 1

The correct interpretation of R 4 is that Natalie has 4 apples left after filling 51 bags with 8 apples each, since 412 divided by 8 equals 51 with a remainder of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Natalie divides 412 apples by 8 and gets an answer of 51 R 4, the interpretation of R 4 in this situation is that Natalie has 4 apples left after filling 51 bags. This is because when you divide 412 by 8, the quotient of 51 represents the number of full bags of 8 apples she can make, and the remainder (or the 'R' value) represents the number of apples that cannot be evenly distributed into another bag of 8. Hence, there are 4 apples remaining that cannot be packaged into a full bag.

Answer 2

3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 51 R4, meaning that 54 bags HAVE been filled and 4 apples are the remainder. Therefore, there are 4 apples that have not been bagged and Natalie would need another bag to bag all the apples.
