Question

Brian's orchard supplies apples to markets in albany. the apples can be packed into a large bag that holds 9 apples or a small bag that holds 6 apples.

a market ordered 140 apples packed in small bags. how many small bags can be filled? will there be any apples left over? divide using a rectangular area model and show the remainder.

Answer 1

140 / 6 = 23 r2

Explanation:

140 apples in small bags. That's 6 apples per bag. So divide 140 by 6. That's 23 bags with two apples left over.

for the model draw a rectangle. You're going to divide it into squares. It should be 6 squares tall and 24 squares long. There should be 140 squares shaded, with four left unshaded.
