Question

In one day, the bakery made 719 bagels. The bagels were divided into 9 equal shipments. A few bagels

were left over and given to the baker. How many bagels did the baker get?

Answer 1

8 bagels

Explanation:

This is a remainder division problem. We need to divide 719 by 9 and find the remainder.

First off, 9 is bigger than 7, so we need to move to the next digit. How many times does 9 go into 71? 9 times 7 is 63! That's the closest smaller number we can get, so I will write a 7 in the long division problem above the 1. I will subtract 63 from 71 to get 8.

7

9 | 719

-63

8

Now, the 9 can be brought down, making our 8 into an 89. How many times does 9 go into 89? 9 times 9 is 81! That's the closest we can get! I will write a 9 by the 7 above the 9 in 719, and write 81 below the 89. Subtracting these leaves us with a remainder of 8.

79

9 | 719

-63 ↓

89

-81

8

This means that the bagels were sent in 9 equal shipments of 79 bagels each, and the baker was left with 8 bagels!

Answer 2

in order to solve this problem, we need to figure out the number of equal bagels go into the 9 crates.
719 bagels / 9 crates = 79 bagels per crate.
now that we know that there are 79 bagels per crate, we can multiply by the number of crates to see how many bagels were shipped out in total
9 crates * 79 bagels per crate = 711 bagels
now, we subtract how many bagels were made by how many were shipped to see how many are left.
719-711 = 8 bagels. this value makes sense because there is not enough bagels left to add an equal amount to each crate.
hope this helps!
