Question

Frida has 12 red apples and 15 Green apples she is going to share the apples equally among eight people and keep any extra to herself.How Manet apple will Frida keep for herself

Answer 1

Frida will keep 3 apples for herself.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of red apples = 15

Number of green apples = 12

So

Total number of apples Frida have =
`(12+15)=27`

Number of people to distribute (equally) upon =
`8`

Multiples of
`8` =
`8,16,24,34,40....`

Closest number to
`27` is
`24`.

Now number of apples Frida will keep for herself =(Total number of apples) - (Apples distributes among
`8` people equally.)

⇒
`(27)-(24)=3`

So our final answer is 3.
