Answer:

You are a teacher holding a competition amongst your students. In your class, you have 31 children competing. The prizes that you give them are chocolates. Beforehand, you bought 2 bags of Hershey's Kisses. Inside one bag, there are 70 Hershey's Kisses. In the end of the competition, you teach your students that in your classroom, there are no winners or losers; just learners. You spread the Hershey's Kisses evenly amongst all of your students. You keep the remaining ones left. How many Hershey's Kisses do your students get?

(I hope whoever grades this for you gets a little laugh out of it lol)

Answer:

No remainder: Ana has 49 chocolate bars and she wants to give the same amount to each of her seven friends. How many chocolate bars would each friend get?

You have a remainder but don't use it: Ana has a 498 sticker pack. She wants to divide them amongst her 7 friends. How many stickers would each friend get if they all get the same amount?

Explanation:

In the first one if you divide 49 by 7 you will get no remainder but in the second one you will

I didn't know what your question meant so I answered it if the problem had no remainder or if the problem did have a remainder but it is not used

Hope this helped :)
