Answer 1

Mrs. Fowler will get
`9` free pizza. And she needs two more coupon for the next pizza.

Explanation:

Given that pizza stand gives a free pizza for every
`8` coupons.

And Mrs. Fowler has
`78` coupons.

Part (a)

How many free pizzas can Mrs. Fowler get if she has
`78`coupons?

We will divide total number of coupons
`78` by
`8` coupons.

`(78)/(8)=9(6)/(8)`

When we divide we get quotient as
`9`, with a remainder of
`6`. So, Mrs. Fowler will get
`9` free pizza.

Now, part (b)

If Mrs. Fowler adds two more coupons that will turn remainder
`6` into
`6+2=8`.

So, she can have next pizza.
