Question

Name Guided Practice DO Do You Understand? 1. If the orchard has 200 seedlings and 12 are planted in each row, how many rows will be filled? Draw place-value blocks to show your answer. In Problem 1. what does the remainder I don't get how 200 is 16​

Answer 1

16 rows, 8 seedlings left.

Explanation:

Divide 200 by 12, since 200 seedlings are going to be split in 12 groups in order to fill the rows.

200 ÷ 12 = 16 with a remainder of 8.

The remainder is basically what is left.

Since 12 seedlings are planted in each row, 8 seedlings is not enough to completely fill the row. So, the answer is 16 rows with 8 seedlings left.
